Hello!
Thank you for using HealthcareMagic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Yes,H.Pylory can cause an White Blood Cells elevation.
Helicobacter Pylori is a bacterium that causes chronic infection of stomach causing gastric ulcer.
As any other kind of infection ,H.pylori infection causes an inflammatory response of immune system with elevation of WBC.
The normal range level for WBC is : 4,500-10,000 white blood cells per mm3.
More than 11,000 white blood cells per mm3 is considered high.
In your case the number of WBC of 12,000 per mm3 is slightly elevated that might be related with H.Pylori infection.
Hope it was of help.
