The white blood cell count is examined under a microscope to determine the levels of these cells:

Lymphocytes, such as T and B cells, direct the entire immune system and make antibodies to fight infections.

Neutrophils, cells normally seen in pus, are the first line of attack against invading bacteria and other infections.

Eosinophils , usually found in very small quantities, are known to be important in allergic disease such as asthma or drug allergies. They are also elevated with conditions such as systemic lupus, cancer, or parasitic infection.

Basophils, similar to eosinophils, can also be found in allergic and other diseases.
