A member asked:

Is it bad if my white blood cell count is over 10000?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: It might be normal for your body....It might mean an infection...It might mean nothing....It might mean that you need the test repeated and you should speak with your doctor. Many medications can elevate white blood cell counts too.
