What diseases can cause high white blood cell count in the spinal fluid?
A high and or elevated WBC in the blood is usually always an indication of a virus and/or signs of inflammation and/or infection. It can honestly mean so many things. Depending on how the testing to determine elevated WBC is done (spinal tap or via routine blood draw),would also impact the accuracy of such a test. If the WBC came back out of the "higher than normal" range. additional testing would then be done. Usually the Dr. who ordered the test might perscribe antibiotics to treat any type of virus/infection causing the increase of WBC. the levels will usually go back down and no future problems arise. I have SLE-an auto-immune disease...my WBC is always on the higher side and is no reason for any alarm. If my WBC gets extremely high, other tests are done such as ANA, RA, DNA to locate the cause of WBC to be higher and treatment can then be prescribed.
