Just wondering how Umair is doing and if anyone has heard from him
Manal:
Yes, i do agree with Sharmin. Usually this indicates that there is/was some sort of infection.Usually the levels will be back to normal again. It happened with me several times and i do believe that by the next CBC, everything will be back to normal again.

Umair,
I also agree wtih Sharmin and Manal that if you have elevated WBC and especially the Neutrophils that would be indicative of some sort of infection. Your Hg and hematocrit were a bit down and that can also result in slight elevation of WBCs.
I really think and hope that your levels will be better next time. if, however, you develop symptomes of infection like fever and chills, definitely, consult your doctor.
You guys also know about the swine flu going around? So, everyone, please be extra careful these days and let your doctor know of any flu like or infection like symptoms right away. The drug, Tamiflu, is only good if given within 48 hrs of onset of symptoms
Take care Umair & everyone else!
Regards,
SF
Sharmin:
Thank you for that information SF. I hope that everyone stays safe. It is a little scary knowing that this flu is lurking.
Andy Battaglia:
Umair,
The high white cells could be related to any recent cold or infection or could even be a result of being anemic.

--- Quote ---A high number of WBCs is called leukocytosis. It may be due to:
* Anemia
* Infectious diseases
* Inflammatory disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis or allergy)
* Leukemia
* Severe emotional or physical stress
* Tissue damage (for example, burns)
These lists are not all inclusive.

Most likely this isn't any concern, but it should be compared with the next blood count to see if any trend develops.
