Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you. There are many causes of rise in WBC count. Infection is one amongst them. There is possibility of leukemia also. I suggest you to keep continuous watch over WBC count. If you feel feverish or some kind or infection related immediately contact the nearby doctor. At this phase nothing more is required. I will be glad to answer your further query. Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. Wish you the best health. Thank you, ChatDoctor.
