Any dramatic increase in white cell count means that there is an infection. The body is producing those white cells to combat that infection.
If you've received a stab wound, then I suggest that you receive immediate medical attention before that infection incapacitates you.
Best wishes.

A wound stops bleeding due to the process of clot formation called coagulation. Coagulation is from the Latin coagulatus meaning "to cause to curdle".
Blood contains an enzyme called Protease 34 kD or thrombin for short. Thrombin is made in the liver. The only time thrombin seems to become active in the body is when there is an open wound.
Blood is circulating tissue composed of a fluid portion (plasma) with suspended formed elements (platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells). Arterial blood is the means by which oxygen and nutrients are transported to body tissues. Venus blood is the means by which carbon dioxide and metabolic by-products are transported from body tissues to exit the body.
In blood plasma there is a specific protein called fibrinogen. In an open wound the enzyme thrombin unites with the fibrinogen to form needlelike crystals called fibrin. This union forms a biochemical alliance that catches blood cells called corpuscles as they try to flood out of the body through the wound. Corpuscle is from the Latin "corpusculum" meaning "any small particle or body".
All this chemical action creates a plug called a blood clot. After a time, moisture is squeezed out of the clot and it contracts. This process is called syneresis. It's not widely known but the same chemical process of syneresis also happens in the formation of jams and jellies.
so u can conclude that to clot blood quickly, there is an increased white blood cell in stab wound injury.

Your white blood cells are your body's way of fighting off infection and when you have a high WBC count your body is doing its job to protect you from infection getting into your bloodstream and circulating into your body and kill you you need antibiotics and anti inflammatory WBCs cause inflammation and they do this to protect you its a natural reaction of the blood but can also mean infection has accrued
You should be looked at and check out by a Dr. and MY God who the heck is stabbing you in the 1t place?

white blood cells are responsible for the defense mechanism in the body. When there is an injury the wbcs move to the site of injury inorder to create inflammation around the damaged tissues so as to fight germs and bacteria and heal the damaged tissue.

White blood cells fight infection. They collect at wound sites to aid the body in healing. Pus is dead white blood cells.

its not in the stab wound, but anywhere there is a wound or cut you find an increased inflow of WBCs because they are the defense mechanism of the body to fight external organisms from entering the body. the WBCs are responsible for the fight against any external organisms entering into body.

because of the opening in the skin, many germs enter. the body cells sense it and reach to fight against it.
