Brief Answer:
infections

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Neutrophilia with raised leukocyte count and raised ESR indicates acute infection. Focus of infection needs to be sought out and antibiotics may be considered for the prompt recovery. Talk to your physician and let them sort it out for you.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
