Content: Certain conditions having nothing to do with infection can alter margination leading to an artificially high or low WBC count.

Even the very experienced professionals get fooled all the time. Chander Asrani

High WBC (leukocytosis) is primarily due to inflammation (commonest due to infections); all cases may not have fever. White blood cells may also increase in parasitic infection, cancers, leukemia (no fever). This is the reason all lab reports have to be correlated with clinical history and findings. 11.8K views
