Hi.My dad recently had an ERCP done to remove some stones left in his duct.Earlier on he had surgery to remove his gall bladder through laproscopy.  But this time the surgery has made his WBC 23000 and hes taking high dosage of antibiotics. He has been losing weight, doesnt feel hungry and cant walk even two steps due to no energy.Please Help.Thank you
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, High levels of white blood cells are seen in infections and malignancy. A differential count should be done to know the differential count and the component which is elevated. On the basis of differential count, further management can be done. In case the elevated white blood cells are due to elevated neutrophils, bacterial infection is the most probable cause. Treatment of bacterial infection is antibiotic therapy. Lymphocytes are elevated due to viral infection or other chronic infections. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
