Mom here again :)
I got a copy of my son's labs and his eosinoph level is also very high. He will be having a complete physical in a week and then off to a specialist. They want him to go to a hemotologist but I heard an Infectious Disease doc would be better. Any ideas on the difference? Also, my son does not have insurance :( He is 21 and a firefighter. His shattered elbow he was semi covered through the Colorado Intigent Program, and his shattered leg was work comp with disability and disfigurement.
my son had a high white count with a cold and had a sinus infection....once he was treated he was fine.....ask the dr about this possibility,,,,,,,maybe sinus ct?? good luck
Elevated WBC's are more often indicitive of a bacterial infection. He has had a cold for the past 2 weeks, something is going on, I would think. Have they tried antibiotics?

Has any other blood tests been performed?
