A member asked:
Could a bruised rib in the process of healing be the reason for my white blood cell count to be a little high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need data: You did not provide the actual counts. The count may be your normal value. Uncomplicated bruise of the rib is not expected to raise WBC count.
