Hello and hope you are doing well.
A high WBC count indicates presence of an infection. Other causes of a high WBC count are anemia, infections, most often those caused by bacteria, inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or allergy, leukemia etc.It is best to consult your doctor for more details and queries since he knows your medical history best. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and every lab has a different range for what’s normal. It is important doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This may mean that a value which may fall outside the normal values listed above may still be normal for you or your lab. Do consult your doctor for more queries.
Best lucks and regards!
