How bad is a score of 21 in a white blood cell count?
11280 is somewhat high but far from amazing. The "normal" range is 4500-10000 cells per mcL, and that varies with age, condition, history, etc. The good news is your immune system seems to be working just fine. The bad news is that a high WBC usually means an infection of some kind, that the body is attacking. There are other causes that are possible, but the most common is a simple infection. Unless there's a lot more to your history, this factoid alone is not a cause to worry of and by itself.

Don't eat excessive sugar rich foods the days following donation (more than you usually do).
High white blood count with staff infection?
I believe the question asks if a high white blood cell count (WBC) is typically observed with a Staphylococcal ("Staph") infection. The answer is usually YES. There are other bacteria that cause illness in theStaphylococcus family but in this context, the inference is often intended about skin infections caused by the bacterium named Staphylococcus aureus. This microbe causes more than one type of skin infection as well as several very different diseases in other parts of the body. It may produce a number of toxins that increase it's intensity and allow it to circumvent the immune system. It may also produce an enzyme that breaks down tissue to allow it to become more invasive. The wide variety of toxic substances produced result in intense reactions by the immune system. In turn, this immune challenge provokes a powerful immune response when various specialized hormones and chemicals are released into the bloodstream. An elevated WBC is one of the observed changes that can be rapidly measured. There are 3 major types of WBCs that are separately enumerated. The pattern about which type elevates the quickest and is present in highest number is a major clue as to the cause of an infection and therefore what initial treatment is needed, especially in cases where an infection may not be directly obvious. There are noted exceptions but it is widely taught, without an elevated WBC, evidence is lacking to prove infection. It is common for a physician specializing in management of infections to view a WBC returning toward normal as an indicator that prescribed treatment is having beneficial effect.

What color is blood in the stool?
Tomatoes and beets can turn your stools red. Other possibilities include blueberries, licorice, iron supplements, Pepto-Bismol--all of these can turn your stools black, which looks a lot like blood in your stools.
The most common causes of bright red blood in your poop are hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Hemorrhoids can begin to bleed when you strain during a bowel movement or even when you wipe a little too roughly. Anal fissures are also quite sensitive to straining and may cause you to have bloody poop. If this is the cause of your problem, the doctor will probably encourage you to drink more fluids and deal with any possible causes of constipation. Another remedy that will provide great results is a colon cleanse. Natural colon cleaners help to remove old waste matter that may be contributing to your constipation.
A Mild Leukemia may be something like Thrombocytopenia. That is a lack of platelets-cells that cause blood to clot properly so we don;t bleed to death.
Mild Leukemias are know as Indolent Leukemia's. Many of them do not even require treatment and patients are just monitored with simple blood counts every few months or a few times a year. Also known as Follicular Leukemia.

Outline the path that blood follows in pulmonary circulation?
The blood leaves the right side of the heart via the atrioventricular valve then onto the pulmonary artery where it enters the capillary network around the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs where the red blood cells that carry oxygen are in close contact with the oxygen in the air. Here they offload carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen, before returning to the left atria to be pumped into the left ventricle and on to the rest of the body.
Can the antibiotic Bactrim cause low platelets?
A few years back, I was on Bactrim for a staph infection. Three days after I started noticing bruises on my hips, and the next day my body was covered with large bruises, petechiae, and I had blood blisters in my mouth. The doctors attributed this to the Bactrim I was on. I have never had this happen, nor has it happened since. I no long take ANY sulfa-drugs.
