Neutrophilia: The percentages are of no concern; only the absolute counts matter. Your daughter's high white counts represent a significant infection or myeloproliferative disease until proved otherwise, though i can raise my neutrophil count to this level doing a cold-water swim. Your daughter's physicians know what to do and will keep you informed.

Bacterial infection: Leukocytosis (high white cell count) with shift to left (high neutrophil) suggests bacterial infection.
