LEUKOCYTOSIS: LEUKOCYTOSIS = elevated WBC. These labs associated with infection/leukemia /lymphoma and demand prompt evaluation You need an Exam/Labs/UAC&S and CXR to start. Also ct scan of chest/abd/pelvis .If no source is found then a hematology consult with bone marrow biopsy may be warranted. If BMB IS NEGATIVE IT MAY BE CLASSIFIED IDIOPATHIC AND BE CLOSELY MONITORED.
