The most common cause of lymphocytic leukocytosis is infection with a virus. Other causes include: Two blood cancers, lymphoma and lymphocytic leukemia, are associated with high numbers of lymphocytes in the bloodstream. Neutrophils, like lymphocytes, protect against bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungal growth.
Treatments for symptoms of the underlying conditions associated with leukocytosis may include:
There are five different types of leukocytosis:
Leukocytosis, or high white blood cell count, can indicate a range of conditions, including infections, inflammation, injury and immune system disorders. A complete blood count (CBC) is usually performed to check for leukocytosis. Treating the underlying condition usually reduces your white blood cell count. What is leukocytosis?

What is leukocytosis? Leukocytosis means you have a high white blood cell count. This means you have more white blood cells than normal. Leukocytosis is a normal immune response and isn't always a cause for concern. Most of the time, it means that your body is fighting off infection or inflammation.
A high white blood cell count is also called leukocytosis.

ICD-10-CM Code for Decreased white blood cell count, unspecified D72. 819.
A low white blood cell count (leukopenia) is a decrease in disease-fighting cells (leukocytes) in your blood. Leukopenia is almost always related to a decrease in a certain type of white blood cell (neutrophil). The definition of low white blood cell count varies from one medical practice to another.
