High white blood cell counts can take place if your body is responding to an infection -- but other things may cause this also. It's not a disease itself.
Some things that can result with higher than normal counts of white blood cells:
Infection
Use of 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
Tissue damage, such as from burns
