Brandon came down with viral pneumonia. His body's immune system will produce B. lymphocytes to defend him against the infection.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Lymphocyte counts below the normal range can also be temporary. They can occur after a cold or another infection, or be caused by intense physical exercise, severe stress, or malnutrition.
- High lymphocyte blood levels indicate your body is dealing with an infection or other inflammatory condition.
- T lymphocytes are cells that are programmed to recognize, respond to and remember antigens. T lymphocytes (or T cells) contribute to the immune defenses in two major ways. Some direct and regulate the immune responses.
- Lymphocyte levels can change according to a person's race, gender, location, and lifestyle habits.
- A temporarily high lymphocyte count is a normal effect of your body's immune system working. Sometimes, lymphocyte levels are elevated because of a serious condition, like leukemia.
- A low level can also be a sign of a condition known as lymphocytopenia or lymphopenia.
