No, the white blood count alone can not be used to diagnose leukemia. A white blood cell count this high is also consistent with the body fighting off an infection. It is hard to wait sometimes but give her doctors a chance to get the whole picture before worrying yourselves,

No, not necessarily, has she had her spleen taken out or somethin like that, cos ppl tht dnt have spleens usually has a waaay higher white blood count, but its not a horrible thing to be stressed bout tho!
good luck tho
