Normal white blood cell count is between 5,000 and 10,000 (5&10) however if you have an infection in your body, you will produce more white blood cells to try and combat the infection. I had a friend who was admitted to A&E as he had a severe pain near is spine/pelvis. His white blood cell count was 50,000 when they started the IV (antibiotic drip) next day the cell count went to 138,000 then down to 101,000 following day and then 65,000 today. He had an MRI scan that did not show anything they think it could have been an abscess near his spin/pelvis. In most cases if you have a high white cell count the hospital will do a white blood cell trace/tack to find out where your white cells are going and what they are attacking. They nurse will take some blood, send it to the lab and they will tag some of your white cell’s with small amount of radiation then inject the blood back into you, and under a x/ray system they can track the cell to see what is doing and what its attacking i.e. the infection. If you worried about having a high white cell count ask your doctor for a white blood cell trace this will find the issues straight away. #4
