Hello and welcome to HCM,
The total leukocyte count is raised on both occasions.
There is also an increase in neutrophil and monocyte count.
Presence of immature granulocyte is not a normal finding.
Leukemia is characterised by increase in total white blood cell counts.
However, there are some leukemias characterised by low total leukocyte count and they are called sub-leukemic leukemia.
You need to consult a hematologist for further investigations to look for leukemia.
Thanks and take care
