Accepted Answer

An elevated WBC count can indicate an infection.

_Interpretation of WBC Count_

1. _Mild elevation_: 10,000-15,000 cellsL (your count is 13,000)
2. _Moderate elevation_: 15,000-25,000 cellsL
3. _Severe elevation_: >25,000 cellsL

_Possible Causes_

1. _Bacterial infections_: Pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or skin infections
2. _Viral infections_: Flu, common cold, or viral gastroenteritis
3. _Fungal infections_: Candidiasis or aspergillosis
4. _Other causes_: Inflammatory conditions, allergic reactions, or stress

_Next Steps_

1. _Consult your GP_: Discuss your concerns and the elevated WBC count.
2. _Additional tests_: Your GP may order further tests, such as:
    - Blood cultures to identify the causative agent
    - Imaging studies (e.g., chest X-ray or ultrasound) to locate the source of infection
    - Other blood tests to assess inflammation or organ function
3. _Antibiotics or antifungals_: If an infection is confirmed, your GP may prescribe antibiotics or antifungals to treat the underlying cause.

_Sepsis Risk_

While an elevated WBC count can indicate an infection, sepsis is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek emergency care:

1. _Severe difficulty breathing_
2. _Chest pain or pressure_
3. _Severe abdominal pain_
4. _Confusion or disorientation_
