According to Mayo clinics website:
White blood cells (leukocytes) help fight infection in your body. A normal white blood cell count is between 4,500 and 10,000 cells per microliter. A high white blood cell count (leukocytosis) isn't a specific disease. But it may indicate an underlying problem that requires medical evaluation. Causes of a high white blood cell count include: Infection Use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics or anti-seizure drugs Severe physical or emotional stress Chronic bone marrow diseases such as a myeloproliferative disorder Acute or chronic leukemia Tissue damage, such as from burns
