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!

Normal WBC count is 4 to 11000. This count is high indicating infection So repeat the WBC count after one week
That is very good question. Viral sore throats will give you low WBC count.
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. But you have low WBC count in viral fevers, in rickettsial infections, in chlamydia infections, in malaria and in typhoid fever. They are all the intracellular infection. So rise in WBC can not help to kill the microorganisms by phagocytosis.
it means you have a high metabolisim
Yes, inflammation can cause an increase in white blood cell (WBC) count. This is a normal response by the body's immune system to fight off infections or heal damaged tissues. High WBC count is often seen in conditions such as infections, autoimmune disorders, or inflammatory diseases.
A WBC count of 42,000 is extremely high, indicating a severe infectious and/or inflammatory condition.
A white blood cell (WBC) count of 21,000 cells per microliter in a 5-year-old is considered elevated, as the normal range typically falls between 5,000 and 15,000 cells per microliter. An elevated WBC count can indicate an infection, inflammation, or other medical conditions. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis if a child's WBC count is high.
what does it mean to have a 13.0 wbc
A white blood cell (WBC) count of 77.5 x 10^9/L is considered very high and indicative of leukocytosis. Normal WBC counts typically range from about 4.0 to 11.0 x 10^9/L, so a count this elevated may suggest an underlying condition such as an infection, inflammation, stress, or more serious issues like leukemia. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and diagnosis.
I just tested positive for Lyme disease with similar high lymph count and low WBC. You may want to get tested for Lyme which can cause an array of problems but one of the most common being joint pain.
If the platelet clumps are large enough, an automated blood analyzer may mistake them for WBCs, causing a falsely high WBC count. The platelet count will be decreased if there is a lot of clumping.
It varies on the location and seriousness of the infection but generally speaking the wbc count goes down
