It could mean you have an infection.... your body's defenses are out in force. Your immune response indicates that there's some kind of foreign invader that needs to be neutralized.

White blood cells are produced by the body to fight off infections. If you've got a high white blood cell count, then you're fighting an infection somewhere in your body.

Don't worry, high white blood cell count is generally just an infection. Some people have high white blood cell counts genetically also. What are your other symptoms?

white blood cells are the ones that fight off infection. so you have something that your body is trying to fight off.
it could be anything from an infection, to a disease.. you have to find out what the problem is , we can only give you vague infromation.

it means you have an infection. why you may ask? white blood cells is part of your body's defence system, so if you have more of them, it probably means that there is "an enemy" attacking your body and its defence system needs more "soldiers" to defend it. get it?
