Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A high leukocyte count can occur in a number of conditions. Infections and leukemia are the most common causes of raised white blood cell count. A white blood cell count of 14.5 is more suggestive of infection rather than leukemia. Infection can be bacterial or viral. In order to assess the type of infection, differential count needs to be done. Thus, I suggest you to post the differential count to know the type of infection. Leukemia are usually characterized by very high white blood cell counts, however, leukemia can occur with lower counts also. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
