How many white blood cells increase in meningitis?

Patient's question:

How many white blood cells decrease in meningitis? If white blood cells do not decrease, but red blood cells are decreasing, what does it indicate?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is a decrease in white blood cells, which primarily indicates the presence of a bacterial infection. If the white blood cell count does not decrease, it means there is no bacterial infection. Currently, it is recommended to appropriately use a variety of antibacterial drugs for treatment and care. A simple decrease in red blood cells does not necessarily prove an abnormal condition, but it is important to conduct follow-up tests regularly.
