[|Human|] ok so my ob found that i have a high white blood cell count but not evidence that i have an infection what can this mean
[|AI|]  Hi!welcome to Chat Doctor .com. There are several possible causes for a high white blood cell count/leukocytosis:Physical stress (e.g., from seizures, anesthesia or overexertion) and emotional stress can also elevate white blood cell counts. Medications commonly associated with leukocytosis include corticosteroids, lithium and beta agonists. Increased eosinophil or basophil counts, resulting from a variety of infections, allergic reactions and other causes, can lead to leukocytosis in some patients. Primary bone marrow disorders. Investigation should include differential leukocyte count which tells which WBC is high, platelet count, hb, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy to rule out leukemia. All the best.
