He just go off steriod after being on them for a month, ?
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your WBC count is slightly high and RBC count is slightly low.  Even mild infection can lead to this. So no need to big worry. You should go for differential count.  If it suggests infection then you should take antibiotics accordingly. If it shows abnormal cells then you should consult hematologist.  So consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
