I just want to understand something in the medical world. When you have blood drawn for tests like CBC or something, can the results indicate whether or not you're fighting a viral infection?

If so, what is elevated?

And for bacterial infections, what indicates that?

Thanks for any help.

I think it is the white blood count that is elevated when you are fighting an infection. I am not sure how bacterial versus viral is indicated . But feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

The white blood cells are broken down into types and stages. These numbers/amounts will vary by infection type bacterial vs viral. Though another blood test is sometimes needed to determine the type of bacteria. Annie
