The following conditions can cause white blood cell counts to be high:
The specific number for high (above normal) white blood cell count varies from one lab testing facility to another, but a general rule of thumb is that a count of more than 10,500 leukocytes in a microliter of blood in adults is generally considered to be high, while 4,500-10,500 is considered within the normal range.
Some of the lesser issues that may be behind an elevated white blood cell count include:

ICD-10 code: D72. 9 Disorder of white blood cells, unspecified.
A WBC count can also be called a leukocyte count, and a WBC differential can also be called a leukocyte differential count.
Most of the time, doctors use a complete blood count (CBC) to check for leukocytosis. A CBC can be part of a routine physical, or your doctor might use it to help diagnose a specific illness. Another test, called a white blood cell differential or "diff," is sometimes done at the same time.

White blood cells are part of the body's immune system. They help the body fight infection and other diseases. Types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).
White blood cells are also called leukocytes. They protect you against illness and disease. Think of white blood cells as your immunity cells....Types of white blood cellsMonocytes. ... Lymphocytes. ... Neutrophils. ... Basophils. ... Eosinophils.
RecapNeutrophils are the first responder of immune cells.Basophils release histamine to mount a non-specific immune response.Eosinophils fight bacteria and parasites but also provoke allergy symptoms.Lymphocytes are B and T cells that defend against specific invaders.Monocytes clean up dead cells.
Definition. By Mayo Clinic Staff. Eosinophilia (e-o-sin-o-FILL-e-uh) is a higher than normal level of eosinophils. Eosinophils are a type of disease-fighting white blood cell. This condition most often indicates a parasitic infection, an allergic reaction or cancer.
