Brief Answer:
The fever and the white count are related
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. I am glad you got your blood work done. I hope the fever is being attended to properly.
As for the White count, if you have a fever, the high body temperatures actually stimulate more whiteblood cells to come into circulation from their hiding places in the lymphnodes and spleen. This is a natureal response to infections in most cases.
Most of the time, high sudden fevers are viral in origin, but it really depends on your symptoms.
Overall, what i can say based on what you have given me is that the High white count is related to the fever and is to be expected under these circumstances.
Once the fever is controlled, the white count will take a few days to get back to normal.
I hope this helps,
Vinay
