Brief Answer: Infection... Detailed Answer: Hi, You have a marginally elevated total wbc count with predominant polymorph. This indicates you probably have a bacterial infection. You might need few other tests to confirm the type of infection and causative organism. If I were to be your treating doctor, I would order a urine test, malarial test, widal / blood culture as well as throat examination as first set of tests. You will be started on emperical antibiotic after giving blood samples for further testing. Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you need clarification. Regards
