A long time : Leukocytosis merely means that the white blood count is elevated above normal. It is usually caused by inflammation, often an infection, and should resolve as the inflammation clears. Life should not be shorted by such events. Obviously, there are malignant causes such as leukemia that can be life-threatening but that disease can often be cured as well. 4.3k views Reviewed >2 years ago

It depends: It depends on the underlying cause of leukocytosis. There are patients with mild reactive leukocytosis (mild infections, drug-induced, etc.)
