hi,
thanks for writing in to hcm.
a leucocyte count ranging between 4000-11000 cells/cumm is taken as normal. esr is not a diagnostic test. it is just a prognostic test hence just single elevated esr level doesn't diagnose the disease.
i would like to suggest kindly visit your physician as based on other symptoms like evening rise of temperature, loss of weight and other diagnostic tests specific for tb like polymerase chain reaction or lymph node biopsy along with thorough clinical examination are required for appropriate diagnosis.
regards.
