A WBC count of 14,500 indicates the body is likely fighting an infection or inflammation. It could be due to a recent illness, such as cold, flu, or other bacterial infections. If you have symptoms like fever, fatigue, or localized pain, consult a doctor.

I have had neck muscle and some joint pain for the past four months, followed by headache and fatigue all day. I got a CBC done, which showed high atypical lymphocytes, and then I had a peripheral blood smear done. Are these reports normal?

I have taken a blood test. I have elevated RBC and iron binding capacity. Is this normal? This is causing anxiety to me.
