A member asked:

What type of anaemia results in an increase of white blood cells?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varied...: Infections are the most common cause of an increased white blood cell count and low red blood cell count. Once the infection is cleared, both types of cells return to normal. A rarer, more concerning cause is leukemia, a cancer of white blood cells.
