Hello,
Sarcoidosis can increase the total WBC count. So treatment for sarcoidosis is needed to decrease the WBC count.
However, as your total WBC count is increased, I suggest investigating further with peripheral smear examination report and differential count.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
