The cause of leukocytosis can be due to a variety of factors, such as infection, inflammation, cancer, or autoimmune disorders. When the white blood cell count rises, the body&#8217;s immune system is activated and can respond to the cause of the leukocytosis.<\/li>\n<li>Leukocytosis is a condition where there is an increase in the number of white blood cells in the blood. This can be caused by a number of things, including infection, inflammation, and cancer. The white blood cells are responsible for fighting infection and helping the body to heal.

Treatment for leukopenia depends on the underlying cause. If the cause is a medication or other treatment, the treatment may be stopped or changed.
