Any type of extreme stress can cause an increase in leukocyte count, leading in leukocytosis. A burn is more likely to stimulate leukocyte proliferation in order to fight infection, which is a concern when the skin's barrier function is compromised.

<h3>Wha is leukocytosis?</h3>

Leukocytosis means you have a high white blood cell count. This means you have more white blood cells than usual. Leukocytosis is a normal immune response and not always a cause for concern. Most of the time, this means  your body is fighting an infection or inflammation.

Causes of leukocytosis -

neutrophils: inflammation and infection.

lymphocytosis: leukemia and viral infections.

monocytosis: cancer and other  infections.

eosinophils: parasites and allergies.

Dan did not feel any symptoms, because the disease is still starting in his body, which facilitates treatment and control. This type of obesity develops from incorrect diet and physical inactivity, but it is possible to control it and live normally with it, mainly in cases like Dan's, which are starting.
