Brief Answer:
TLC and DLC are required to know the cause of raised white blood counts

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
I can understand from your query that your white blood count is remaining high from some time.
However, I will be able to give better opinion if I know the total leukocyte count (TLC) and differential leukocyte count (DLC).
Kindly, post the laboratory test report on the portal.

Thanks
Dr Shailja Puri

Brief Answer:
Lymphocytic leukocytosis s/o viral infection,chronic inflammatory condition

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
Your laboratory reports show mildly increased white blood cells and elevated lymphocytes.
Lymphocytes are elevated in conditions like viral infections, tubercular infection, chronic inflammatory conditions, etc.
I suggest you to get ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and CRP (C-reactive peptide).
Lymphocytosis along with elevated ESR and elevated CRP is suggestive of chronic inflammatory condition.

Thanks and take care

Brief Answer:
ESR and CRP are not specific for any organ system

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
ESR and CRP are both not specific for any system.
However, any chronic inflammation in any organ system can lead to elevated ESR and CRP.

Thanks and take care
