Her hemoglobin is low and she's anemic as per the reports. A high white blood cell count usually indicates the following:
- An increased production of white blood cells to fight an infection
- A reaction to a drug that increases white blood cell production
- A disease of bone marrow, causing abnormally high production of white blood cells
- An immune system disorder that increases white blood cell production
