This, as already pointed out, depends upon the increase of opsonins, though it is also to be noted that in many infective conditions there is another factor present, namely a leucocytosis, that is, an increase of the leucocytes in the blood, and the defensive powers of the body are thereby increased.    From Wordnik.com.  [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference

A dog is given raw meat, even one fifth in quantity compared with the cooked meat, then in three or four hours time, leucocytosis results.    From Wordnik.com.  [Charles Richet - Nobel Lecture] Reference

An initial injection which makes the body anaphylactic, therefore, induces a marked leucocytosis and this is the only symptom that can be observed.    From Wordnik.com.  [Charles Richet - Nobel Lecture] Reference

There can be no question of real anaphylaxis, for anaphylaxis is always severe, immediate and terrible, whereas in this instance, the leucocytosis only appeared on the third or the fourth day.    From Wordnik.com.  [Charles Richet - Nobel Lecture] Reference

It is relevant here to indicate the relationship I have been able to establish between leucocytosis and anaphylaxis, a relationship that is hard to grasp without elaborate techniques and prolonged observations.    From Wordnik.com.  [Charles Richet - Nobel Lecture] Reference

If however a second chloroformization is carried out a month or so after the first, in conditions as nearly identical with the first as may be permissible, then on the third or the fourth or the fifth day in particular, severe leucocytosis will appear, reaching 220 or 250 leucocytes.    From Wordnik.com.  [Charles Richet - Nobel Lecture] Reference

Further, once one finds leucocytosis, there's quite a bit of differential diagnosis: infection of many sorts, possibly an inflammatory response, four or more kinds of leukemia since there is no WBC differential.    From Wordnik.com.  [Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium - Recent changes [en]] Reference
