Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are muktiole conditions which can cause increase in liver enzyme in infant including both congenital and acquired. As you said white cell count is also high so it will be most likely due to infection or if it is more high like in 40000 or above, it could be a blood disorder. Need a proper information about him, consultation and examination with a paediatrition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
