Counts around 30,000 can be due to physical stress, injuries, allergic reactions, infections, or medication. For example, you may have the flu. Counts between 50,000 and 100,000 usually indicate a serious infection, such as advanced pneumonia. In a person who has had an organ transplant, it could mean an organ rejection. Additionally, some tumors can cause high WBC counts, which could be either cancerous or benign. Counts above 100,000 usually mean a more serious condition that your doctor will need to diagnose. This could range from severe bronchitis to leukemia in rare cases. Many pregnant women have a WBC count of up to 15,000 in the third trimester and after giving birth, which may be normal. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/73\/Raise-Blood-Platelet-Level-Naturally-Step-11.jpg\/v4-460px-Raise-Blood-Platelet-Level-Naturally-Step-11.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/73\/Raise-Blood-Platelet-Level-Naturally-Step-11.jpg\/aid9358249-v4-728px-Raise-Blood-Platelet-Level-Naturally-Step-11.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
