When a blood test has been done, and the result shows that someone has a higher than normal WBC count, this indicates an infection in the body, resulting in a large number of WBCs being generated. WBCs or the White Blood Cells play an important role in our immune system because they fight the infections by attacking the bacteria, viruses and germs that enter the body.
