Solution

Whenever there is an infection in the body, the immune system receives a signal to synthesize particular antibodies. In response to the quantity of germ-multiplication in the body, white blood cells multiply rapidly which enables it to produce more antibodies thereby stopping an infection on time. Consequently, abnormal numbers of WBCs are an indication of some infection in the body.
