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.
