Answer 1

Resistant to treatment means the normal anti -biotics are not very effective in her case. But there are new drugs that could help She is in a state where her blood is not making enough of these cells. The t cells and white cells are there to help fight infections and to rebuild cells.

There is no specific diagnosis of her condition, You can support your friend by helping her think positively and do not worry.

Answer 2

Helper T cells play an important part in the immune system. These cells often influence the immune response against disease. They also appear to make occasional mistakes, or generate responses that would be politely considered non-beneficial. In the worst case scenario, the helper T cell response could lead to a disaster and the fatality of the host.

Fortunately this is a very rare occurrence.

White blood cells or leukocytes are cells of the immune system which defend the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials.

Several different and diverse types of leukocytes exist, but they are all produced and derived from a multipotent cell in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cell. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system.

The number of leukocytes in the blood is often an indicator of disease. There are normally between 4×10*9 and 11×10*9 white blood cells in a liter of blood, making up approximately 1% of blood in a healthy adult.

A White Blood Cell count of 24x10*9 is extremely high.

An elevated WBC count (leukocytosis) often signals infection, such as an abscess, meningitis, appendicitis, or tonsillitis. A high count may also result from leukemia and tissue necrosis due to burns, myocardial infarction, or gangrene.

In conclusion, your friend is at extremely high risk of infection and if the WBC count is correct, runs a very high risk of cancer and/or other pathogenic and life-threatening conditions.

Helper T cells and hypersensitivity
The immune system must achieve a balance of sensitivity in order to respond to foreign antigens without responding to the antigens of the host itself. When the immune system responds to very low levels of antigen that it usually shouldn't respond to, a hypersensitivity response occurs. Hypersensitivity is believed to be the cause of allergy and some auto-immune disease.

Something that might help your friend, is a product called The New Silver Solution. Taken on a daily basis, it boosts the immune system function and kills pathogenic bacterium, which your friends system can't do, in its present state. It is also completely non-toxic.

It means the treatments aren't or won't work on her. This is very bad. I don't know what t-cells are or anything about the white count of 24.
