Hi, have you had any implants? My husband had titanium spacers in the lumbar area of the spine. For a year his white blood count has been going up and down he had no fever or infection. We are considering a Melisa test and a bone marrow biopsy. You can be allergic to metals in wrists, knees, back and teeth, etc.
over the last several years, I can run a low grade fewer 101 swollen lymph nodes in my neck, aches, fatigue,just feel bad. This can last several days and then I feel better & fever goes away.
Had lab work done for the past three years.
2009: WBC ll.5 neutrophils 79 neutrophilis absolute 9.1 2010: absolute CD4helper 1747 %CD4Pos.Lymp. 62.4 lymph% 49
screened for HIV, Hep C all negivtive. Can you make any suggestions why this keep occurring?
Thanks

Hi.
I understand what you are going through.
A persistently elevated or progressively elevating white blood cell count level warrants further investigation to elucidate the cause. Both benign and malignant conditions can cause such elevation.
I suggest you bring your mother to a hematologist for further evaluation.
Good luck.
i'm not sure how high her count is but the dr said its in the "danger" zone like i said its been up for more than a year now and they can't "find" the problem......but when they keep saying leukemia its scarey you k now..
Hi.
How high is the white blood cell count?
Was a peripheral blood smear done?
Usually, an elevated white blood cell count is a result of infection. Leukemias can also cause an elevation of the white blood cell count.
You can always go to another doctor for a second opinion.
