White blood cells help fight infection in your body. A normal white count is between 4,500 and 10,000 cells per microliter. Causes of an elevated white count include:
Infection
Certain medications, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics or anti-seizure drugs
Severe physical or emotional stress
Chronic bone marrow diseases such as a myeloproliferative disorder
Acute or chronic leukemia
A high white count doesn't identify a specific problem. Instead, it may indicate an underlying condition and should be evaluated by your doctor.

High white blood cell count is usually an indication of an infection

you probably have some sort of infection. If you ate bad food recently ie old or uncooked beef or chicken, you may have food poisening. You spoke of an elevated WBC which is indicative of an infection. It also could possibly be leukemia, but highly unlikely.

You have an infection or virus of some type, and if you already know that your white cells are low you must have already seen a physician. Go see him/her again and get some antibiotics.

High WBC usually indicates some kind of infection going on -- but you must know that--you already know you are not feeling well!

Because you have an infection..............high white blood count = sick....but apparently you have gone to the doctor or how else would you know that. FLU.......Mono...something.
You should be under doctor's supervision.

Because you are sick with infection, pathogen got in your body, you should have washed your hands and only used new money that nobody ever touched.
