Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns

But since this is only a mild elevation of WBCs and since you are not experiencing any other symptoms then this could be due to any of the following causes:
Smoking (if at all do)
Stress
Exercise
Allergies
Some medications, such as corticosteroids...

Once the causative factor is discontinued , the WBCs count is expected to rerun back to normal levels.

I hope I answered your question
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
