Is WBC Of 20.7 Considered High?
My wbc is 20.7, is that high? I have cellulitis on both lower legs/ankles right now. Just got done 3 weeks ago taking 10 day course of Bactrin for cellulitis on my left leg. Currently on the same course of Bactrin. Why did it come back, and could CMML Leukemia cause this. I have CMML, but it has been under control for several years. Could this mean it is reactivating?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is just a sign of infection. As the infection gets cured, WBC count will return to normal.
