Hi Jo. The good news is that it went up in response to an infection!! That means you can make some white cells. Cellulitis is no joke, and can be quite serious. Also, even if not on a steroid like Prednisone routinely, your WBC can go up briefly and temporarily after steroid injections. I've noticed that after shots in various joints from the rheumy. It would be normal ANC afterwards and then go back down the following week to my normal!
