Is a white blood cell count of 160 normal?

Patient's question:

Is a white blood cell count of 160 normal in a blood test? I am very worried. The child has had this symptom repeatedly, and it has been checked. I hope the doctor can help us.

Doctor's answer:

Higher values indicate bacterial infection and inflammation; extremely high values may suggest blood disorders, such as leukemia. Lower values are usually due to individual differences or viral infection; extremely low values could indicate blood disorders. It is recommended that you provide detailed information about the test results for a better analysis, or you can bring the test report to the doctor for a thorough review.
