A leukocyte is a a white blood cell. It is part of the immune system at the most basic, and cellular level. Everyone has them, but the levels can and do change.
For example, someone who is immunocompromised (e.g. someone with HIV/AIDS, someone who has undergone an organ transplant and takes certain medications to lower their immune system, the very old and the very young) may have a LOWER level of leukocytes (or WBC's) than a healthy person.
On the other hand, if the WBC count is very HIGH, this is one of the indicators of infection. Your doctor will try to find the source of the infection and likely treat you with antibiotics and maybe a combination of other drugs.
So in the end, NO IT IS NOT A PROBLEM if you have a leukocyte. It is actually totally normal to have hundreds of thousands in your body at all times. If you have more than normal, your body is likely in the midst of battle with an infection of some sort.

What is the diagnosis of a child of 1 year presenting with fever and investigations show the blood and urine cultures to be sterile and total leucocyte count is high?
Increased leucocyte level usually indicates bacterial infection but can be due to other causes also. Sterile culture does not entirely rule out bacterial infection. Diagnosis can only be made by taking history, clinical examination and investigations into consideration. It cannot depend only on lab reports.
