Does High TLC Count Indicate An Infection?
Hello, High total leukocyte count indicates infection somewhere. As the ultrasound is normal, there is nothing much to worry about. Antibiotics may be started empirically. Consult a gynecologist and he will direct you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
