As a general rule, antibiotics do not cause a decrease of white blood cells (WBCs). WBCs are one of the main ways the body fights infection. Because your son had a recent illness the WBC count most likely increased during that period in order to fight his infection.
White blood cell count (WBC) White blood cells are the cells that fight off infections. There are many different types that have different functions and are usually listed as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. An elevated WBC is an indicator of infection or inflammation. An increase in the WBC along with pain over the liver and fever may indicate cholangitis (infection in the bile ducts). The WBC is sometimes chronically elevated in PSC, especially when there is ch ronic cholangitis.
