His WBC (White blood cells) and antibodies would be higher than normal. This is because the rhinovirus, which is a pathogen, has induced the subject’s immune system and is trying to fight the infection. Immune cells such as T - and B - cells, and macrophages would be numerous in number compared to those of an uninfected person.
