A member asked:
I went to er and they diagnosed me with acute stress reaction. my leucocytes value was 17.6, and the assumption was stress related. can stress cause such increase?

Most doctors on online forums try not to disagree with forum users' own doctors. However, stress alone is not a likely cause of such an elevated white blood cell count. Keep working with your primary care doctor, especially if you have symptoms of infection like fever, unexplained pain, or others. Good luck.
