The change in white blood cells after rhinitis depends on the cause of the rhinitis and the type of rhinitis suffered. Acute rhinitis is mostly caused by bacterial infections, viral infections, environmental factors, etc. Only rhinitis caused by bacterial infections and viral infections can cause elevated white blood cells in some cases, while other types of rhinitis are often not accompanied by changes in white blood cells, but may have changes in eosinophils or specific immune changes in globulin IgE.
