What Does WBC Count Of 13000 With High Neutrophils And Monocytes Mean?
Question: What does a white count of 13000 with high neutrophils and monocytes mean?
Brief Answer:
maybe some bacterial infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Most commonly this is because of some bacterial infection. Was there any fever recently?
Sometimes this can happen due to some drugs like steroids.
If we suspect any infection, a course of antibiotics should bring the counts back to normal.
Hope this helps.
