Probably not, and...: ...it probably doen't matter. Your WBC count was a symptom of your infection, just like fever, feeling poorly, or whatever other symptoms you had. WBC may fluctuate during recovery. This may mean nothing if you feel better and are generally improving. But this is something to discuss with the doctor treating you. Follow her advice.
