The condition characterized by the listed symptoms is likely inflammation, a condition in which the body's innate immune system is responding to some form of pathogen or foreign body, or damaged tissue. Because it is due to the innate immune system, rather than adaptive, white blood cell count should remain unaffected by this condition. The goal of inflammation is generally to bring cells and cytokines related to the healing and breakdown of tissue to the site and removed unwanted tissue.
