Normally you have between 4,000 and 11,000 WBCs per microliter of blood if you aren’t pregnant. Anything higher is considered leukocytosis. WBC counts between 50,000 and 100,000 per microliter usually mean a very severe infection or cancer somewhere in the body. A WBC count over 100,000 most often occurs with leukemia or other blood and bone marrow cancer. There are three tests your doctor might use to help determine why your WBC is higher than normal: Complete blood count (CBC) with differential. This test is almost always done when your WBC count is higher than normal for unknown reasons. For this test, blood drawn from your vein is run through a machine that identifies the percentage of each type of WBC.
