Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is not the case always that high wbc count is suggestive of infection.

It is likely that some underlying malignancy is there which is favouring the high WBC count.

I advice you should go for bone marrow examination. This will guide us regarding the possible pathology of the high WBC count.

If it is malignancy it will be clearly visible in the report.

Further management can be possible thereafter.

As the WBC count is high I advice you should maintain good hygiene as this WBC are immature and won't provide protection for the infection.

Please adopt good handwashing practice as it is equally important.
I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
