What does a white blood cell count of 1350 mean?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 33 years old and female. I have always been in good health, but this year, for some reason, I've had a fever and a cold that just wouldn't go away. Later, it turned into encephalitis. I wanted to ask the doctor what "encephalitis, bone spurs, white blood cells 1350" means and what it represents.

Doctor's answer:

Your white blood cell issue could be caused by your inflammation, so if your white blood cell count is high, it is also possible that it could be bacterial. In this case, anti-inflammatory drugs can be considered. Humans have a blood-brain barrier, and under its effect, many drugs cannot enter the central nervous system. However, in a state of illness, it may cause the barrier's function to weaken.
