hi,

thanks for your question. it somewhat depends on the age if your child and the normal values in the lab where you had the blood work performed. a high white cell count can be indicative of an infection most commonly but can also represent other conditions which you would want to exclude if your child does not have a infection that explains it.

I hope this answers your question.

best wishes
