Is 16.6 a high white blood cell count?

Leukocytes 16.6×10⁹/L is relatively high, and it is necessary to determine whether there are any foci of bacterial infection, tissue damage, and bone marrow proliferation in the body. 1. Under normal circumstances, the number of white blood cells in adults is between (4 and 10) × 10⁹/L. Reaching 16.6 × 10⁹/L is the first indication that a serious bacterial infection may be present. Attention is paid to monitoring the body temperature to determine whether there is an elevated temperature and to determine whether there is a respiratory bacterial infection, gastrointestinal infection, urinary tract infection, or pelvic infection.
