What happens if WBC increases upto 17000?

The white blood cell count is done by counting the number of white blood cells in a sample of blood. A normal WBC is in the range of 4,000 to 11,000 cells per microliter. A low WBC is called leukopenia. A high WBC is termed leukocytosis.

my understanding is High wbc would indicate a infection or allergy response.any change in normal rates could be a symptom of something else, i would encourage you to keep looking. Knowledge is power.

my brother had a wbc of 72 and he nas turmile cancer he had a blood tranfusion to help build up his count can you explain what is a normal blood count and how bad is it to have a count of 72
