white blood cells are "fighter" cells and an abnormal count means that there is something going on, like an infection. How old is your friend? If they are younger, I would say that he or she should be tested for leukemia or such? Regardless, if they went to the doctor and was told that the white count was high, I would hope that the dr's would be looking into this!!!

A high white blood cell count means that the body's defenses are fighting an infection of some sort - viral or bacterial

according to the Mayo health website that count is still low for white blood cells:
White blood cells (leukocytes) help fight infection in your body. A normal white blood cell count is between 4,500 and 10,000 cells per microliter. A high white blood cell count (leukocytosis) isn't a specific disease. But it may indicate an underlying problem that requires medical evaluation. Causes of a high white blood cell count include:
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
