yes this is very high, i think. mine is only 14 and it is high so yea i think 23 is pretty high
***************************
A WBC count of 23 is simply short for 23,000. According to my haematologist, WBC levels should be between 4,500 and 10,000 (4.5-10 for short). If your WBC is 23, than that is extremely high and very dangerous, and I'm not trying scare you, but you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Even the answered above has a WBC slightly above normal, although theirs is probably not a significant. Please, get that checked out for your sake. Good luck!

That is a very good question! You normally have high white blood cell count in bacterial infections. This rise in count is there to to promote the phagocytosis by white blood cells.

So rise in WBC can not help to kill the microorganisms by phagocytosis.

What causes a high wbc count?
Many things can cause a high WBC count. One of which is infection. WBCs fight foreign bodies in our system that's why if there are viruses, they would increase in count. It's part of the body's defense system. Another possible reason is if there are abnormalities in the blood producing organs of the body. For instance, with Leukemia, there is an abnormally high production of WBC.
