Any infection--pneumonia, urinary tract infection, etc can cause your WBC to be elevated.
Leukemia can also cause it. Thats a more serious problem, and can only be diagnosed by a doctor.
Lupus can also sometimes elevate your WBC levels. More rare but still a possibility.
I've even had patient with poison ivy that had an elevated white blood count.

Good question
Maybe you have a sign of Lupus.
.High WBC may indicate:
Infection
Leukemia
