Yes: Bronchitis - is inflammatory disease of the bronchi. Elevated WBC count is usually a lab. Finding goes along with it. Anemia may be a result of disease as well, if not an underlying condition. Sleep apnea is most probably a result of obstruction of the airways. In premature or kids with neurological problems it may be from the immaturity of the brain resp.Center & not the reason for n elevated wbc.
