Are High Platelet, WBC And Neutrophil Counts Associated With Seizure Attack?
My 7 year old has had epilepsy since she was 2 yrs old. I was asked by someone if I knew the cause. Other than her being a breech baby, I have recently discovered a pattern in every lab since she was 2 months old. She has has high platelet count 500-600, as well as high wbc and neutrophils. This was never recognized by her doctors. Could this be a possible cause of seizures?

to my mind my friend
the increased platlet count and increase WBC count is most certainly not the cause of her epilipsy
neither it the side effect of any known anti epileptic drug
the platlet count that you are telling also is not high enough thrombocytosis that is increase platlet count needs attention only if it is above 750
she may be having some chronic undiagnosed infection
most of the epilepsy do not have a cause per say other than an electrical focus in the brain which is the reason for the seizures
