Sinus infection

[ElMaga]

wondering if I should get my lab work today with a horrible sinus infection; any experience with it raising WBC?

I wouldn’t worry about it. If your WBC shows a jump your doctor will take into consideration the fact that you had an infection going on. Either that jump would not be enough of one to be of concern re: your CLL or the labs would be redone when you are better.

As MsLockYourPosts notes, your doctor knows how to interpret your blood test results to work out what's likely due to a vaccination or infection as opposed to changes in your CLL. You can learn too, per this post: healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo...

you were so right. I am so glad I went ahead and did my labs. WBC 5.7; lymphocytes 1.4; neutro 3;59; igG 906; not bad.
