Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Infection especially bacterial infection can lead to increased white blood cell count. Among the white blood cells, neutrophils are elevated. Red cells not having enough oxygen suggests low hemoglobin or anemia. Itchiness can occur due to many causes namely,1. Polycythemia2. High bile salts in body3. Skin ailments etc. A clinical assessment is required to look for focus of infection and site on body whether itchiness is more. In case of low hemoglobin, relevant investigations are required to know the type of anemia. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
