13,300. My wife was told to see a doctor due to her wbc going from 11,800 to 13,300 in a month. They said they are testing her for Leukemia. My question is has anyone heard of being diagnosed with Leukemia with a WBC this low?

I don't think your wife is having leukemia, but is good her condition to be monitor.
Increased number of WBC can be due bacterial infection, inflammation, stress, trauma and leukemia. A drop of blood can contain anywhere from 7,000 to 25,000 white blood cells at a time. If an invading infection fights back and persists, that number will significantly increase. A consistently high number of white blood cells is a symptom of Leukemia (50000 WBC)
Is she experiencing some symptoms? How is her general health condition?
