Question
Is a blood test regular white blood cell count of 160 normal? I’m worried, the child has been experiencing these symptoms and has already been checked. Please doctor, help us.
Answer
A slightly elevated white blood cell count may indicate a bacterial infection or inflammation; if the count is very high, it could pose a risk of blood diseases such as leukemia. Generally, a slightly low white blood cell count is due to individual differences or viral infections; if the count is very low, it could also indicate a risk of blood diseases. It is recommended that you provide detailed results for better analysis, or bring the report to the doctor for a thorough examination.
