A white blood cell (WBC) count of 18,600, coupled with a fever, suggests the presence of an infection or inflammation in the body. Normal WBC counts typically range from 4,000 to 11,000 cells per microliter, so an elevated count indicates that the immune system is responding to a potential threat. It's important to consider the clinical context, as this could indicate various conditions, from bacterial infections to inflammatory diseases. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
platelets
low wbc count depicts immunosuppressed patient,with a compromised deffence mechanism,low platelet count means thrombocytopaenia where the patient has a bleeding disorder resulting to excessive blood loss incase of an injury
Normal WBC count is 4 to 11000. This count is high indicating infection So repeat the WBC count after one week
WBC count of 56,000 Means you have chronic lymphocytic leukemia
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.
Most likely there is an infection. My daughter is 5 and her wbc is 16000 and she has fever. She just went to the doctor. She has the flu-throwing up and VERY tired. The doctor is sending her for an ultra sound to rule out appendicitis and another wo9rd i can't spell. Hope this helps you.
what does it mean to have a 13.0 wbc
It varies on the location and seriousness of the infection but generally speaking the wbc count goes down
A white blood cell (WBC) count of 2-3 in a urinalysis is slightly elevated and may indicate a mild inflammation or infection in the urinary tract. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause, especially if there are other symptoms present such as pain, fever, or frequent urination.
Wbc (white blood cell count) of 1 means they have no immune system ie. They cant fight off infection for sickness.
it means you have a high metabolisim
When the WBC count falls below the normal range, it is usually an indication of an underlying disease. The symptoms depend on the underlying-cause. Some people experience a fall in their WBC count and experience no symptoms. However, for most people, leucopenia causes a range of symptoms, as if you have insufficient WBC to fight diseases, your body will be susceptible to a range of infections, skin problems, viruses, fever, gastro-intestinal problems etc.
