Bet you can surmise my gut reaction to that;
Since having an infection keeps my WBC higher, thereby doing away with the need for neupogen, which I hate . . . .
I knew it was too good to be true.
Thanks for the explanation. Guess that means neup injection tonight.

The antibitics aren't raising your white counts - the infection is.
Antibiotics won't work if they don't have something to work with.
"you've been fighting a bacterial infection, which I assume you've had because you're taking antibiotics.'
*LOL*
You're starting to sounds as 'clueless' as me. ;) Have to confess, I sometimes have a linguistically detrimental effect on others.
Yes, I was on a 2 week course of bactrin for ear/sinus infection and was taking those meds when the labs were drawn.
Now I'm wondering why I can't stay on antibiotics instead of neupogen for the TX-provoked low WBC and ANC.

Assuming you haven't changed your meds during this time period, more likely the raised WBCs are because you've been fighting a bacterial infection, which I assume you've had because you're taking antibiotics.
