Pediatric leukocytosis may be caused by physiological reasons, such as strenuous exercise, cold or hunger, and so on, and may also be pathologic, such as organism infection and other reasons.
1. strenuous exercise: pediatric leukocyte high may be caused by strenuous exercise, strenuous exercise when the body is in a state of stress, can stimulate the body’s immune system to enhance the performance of transient leukocyte increase.
2. Cold or hunger: pediatric leukocytes may be stimulated by cold or hunger, resulting in marginal leukocytes into the blood circulation, resulting in the phenomenon of increased leukocytes.
3. Infection: when the body is infected by bacteria or viruses, the body recognizes the pathogen invasion, the immune system will start the white blood cells to phagocytosis of pathogens, the need to increase the number of white blood cells to fight bacteria, viruses, the white blood cell increase will occur.
There are more reasons for high white blood cells in children, and the specific ones should be examined in the hospital.
