Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some infection. That leads to high wbc count. Your jac 2 mutation is negative so you don't have any myeloproliferative disease mostly. Consult your doctor and take a course of antibiotics.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
