Causes of high cerebrospinal fluid leukocytes

The most likely cause of high cerebrospinal fluid leukocytes is an intracranial infection. The most common causes of intracranial infection are the following: i. Bacterial meningitis: This is the most common cause of high leukocytes, and generally patients with bacterial meningitis have very high leukocytes. Second, viral meningitis: viral meningitis can cause high white blood cells. Meningitis caused by tuberculosis bacilli: Meningitis caused by tuberculosis bacilli can cause an increase in white blood cells. Fourth, radioencephalopathy: there are some other radioencephalopathies or some blood diseases, such as lymphoma, leukemia and so on.
