A member asked:

My white blood count is 15.5 is this too high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jack Rubin answered

High WBC: It seems that white blood cell count (wbcv) is high. I would make sure that you have no infection and see a hematologist to see if there are other causes for an elevate WBC apart from infection.
