What Does Elevated WBC Count In Blood Indicate?
My 4-year old daughter has had fever 37.8 - 38.9 degreed for 3 days now. Her CBC showed very high WBC count 17,720 (range 4,800 -10,800). Her pedia asked for a urinalysis, and it showed ketone: 100 mg/dl (3+) and protein (30mg/dL trace (1+). What does it mean?

Hi
Eleveated WBC count, Fever and presence of protein in Urine suggest the cause to be due to Urinary tract infection. I would suggest you to get Urine culture done, she will also require Empirical antibiotic therapy.
Take Care
