Healthy count of white blood cells
A healthy adult should have from 4,300 to 10,800 white blood cells present in each cubic millimeter of their blood. Keep in mind that fluctuations would happen during the day. You might have a lower count when resting or sleeping and a higher count when working out. An abnormal surge in the number is called leukocytosis, while an abnormal drop is called leukopenia. In most cases, the number of white blood cells would go up in response to pregnancy, pain, emotional reactions, convulsions, physical exertion, and some diseases, such as intoxications and infections.
