In most cases a high white blood cell count can be very serious; the main cause and reason for this could be anemia. However, if the count is extremely high, such as 25,000, then it could be as drastic as leukaemia. There is no way of being certain as to what is causing the high white blood cell without having the correct tests and investigations done. 

When someone is anemic it simply means that they have too many white blood cells within their body which need to try and be balanced. This can be done in many ways, eating certain sugary foods and blood transfusions within hospitals are the main ways that medical professions try to create a balance of white and red blood cells within the body.

It is not only children that can be affected by a high white blood cell count; it can affect all of us. However, it is likely that it is going to be discovered when we are younger or when we are in adolescence, when the effects of anemia or leukaemia begin to show.

If the results are as serious as leukaemia, you will undergo treatment as soon as possible after it is discovered. As this is life threatening and much more serious than anemia, it is important that you have all the necessary tests if you think that you are showing symptoms of a high white blood cell count. Although this condition can be difficult to treat, the treatment that you do receive will make your quality of life a lot better, so don’t hesitate to have tests done if you are concerned.

Normal levels of WBC are 4300-10800. Elevated levels can be due to infection and anemia. But a levels of 25000 is something mater of special concern. It might be due to anemia or leukemia. So wait for the results of further investigations.

This happened to my little girl. She at one point had a hematologist which eventually r/o leukemia. Her wbc would get as high as 45,000(I am a RN so the knowledge of the matter scared me). She would run very high temp.'s, lethargic so on. By the second grade she out grew the mystery WBC count and today is 13. Good Luck!

In human body if the white blood cells are more then it is for sure that he/she has some infection like septicemia which can result in multi organ failure too. But it doesn’t mean that there is no cure for this, proper care of the patient should be done with proper medication.
