A member asked:
Can a viral infection cause wbc of 24000 and fever of 104.5 in an infant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: A viral infection can cause a high fever but a high white blood count is very indicative of a bacterial infection. Viral infections generally don't cause high white blood counts.
