The neutrophils in white blood cells are born to be a scout, and when bacteria invade in the body, the neutrophils will detect it. Chase each step until the invader is swallowed and eliminated, and the death will stop. Therefore, the elevated neutrophils of the blood are usually bacterial infections.

But when the virus is infected, the neutrophils are very helpless because the virus is very small. Viruses enter the host, while neutrophils cannot.

lymphocytes directly kill the infected cells and then work with other members to clean up the exposed virus. Therefore, the increase in lymphocyte ratio is mostly caused by viral infection.

If there is fever, you need to do a C-reactive protein test for your pet. C-reactive protein is an inflammatory protein secreted by liver cells in the body. When the body is infected or tissue damage, the number will rise sharply. And the number is proportional to the inflammatory response. Therefore, doctors sometimes use C-reactive protein as one of the reference criteria for judging whether there is inflammation and the severity of inflammatory response. In addition, C-reactive protein found that the inflammatory response was very fast, and it may appear 5-8 hours after the inflammatory response occurs.
