Sad situation: An unimmunized kid with a 104 temperature may have something simple like a virus. S/he may also have a vaccine preventable illness like hemophilus meningitis or blood poisoning.I would take the child to be evaluated and be sure to inform the doc of the lack of vaccines. They can proceed with a more thorough evaluation understanding the extra possibilities.

needs evaluation: An infant with this high a white blood cell count and fever needs urgent evaluation by a doctor, especially when they have not been immunized. It's not easy to give a list of potential causes without direct evaluation by a doctor in person.
