Introduction
A white blood cell count of 50/HP may result from either physiological or pathological causes, such as rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, etc., and targeted treatment can be administered accordingly. A temporary increase in white blood cells after intense exercise is a normal physiological response. Exercise can also cause muscle contractions, leading to the production of certain biologically active substances, such as myoglobin and cytokines.

A white blood cell count of 50/HP may result from either physiological or pathological causes, such as rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, etc. Targeted treatment can be provided. Specific analysis is as follows:

I. Physiological Causes

A temporary increase in white blood cells after intense physical exercise is a normal physiological response. Exercise also causes muscle contractions that produce certain bioactive substances, such as myoglobin and cytokines, which can further promote an increase in white blood cells. In general, no treatment is required.

II. Pathological Causes

1. Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the patient's immune system attacks their own joint tissues, causing joint inflammation. During the inflammatory process, inflammatory cells release various cytokines that attract white blood cells to the inflamed area for clearance and repair. Therefore, white blood cell counts in the blood may increase in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, especially during active phases of the disease. After diagnosis by a physician, medications such as naproxen capsules, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, and rifampicin tablets may be used for treatment.

2. Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It stimulates the immune system, triggering an inflammatory response. White blood cells are part of this inflammatory response, functioning to eliminate pathogens and repair damaged tissues. Therefore, increased white blood cell counts are commonly observed in inflammatory diseases such as tuberculosis. Treatment should follow medical advice and may include medications such as isoniazid capsules, ethambutol capsules, and levofloxacin tablets.

In addition to the above, HIV/AIDS can also lead to a white blood cell count of 50/HP. If a white blood cell count of 50/HP is detected, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention for proper diagnosis and development of an appropriate treatment plan by a qualified physician.
