If you're on meds, and you are scheduled to go for another blood workup, try fasting and being med-free for at least 12 hrs. prior to the blood draw - I'm willing to bet they come out with different numbers. It appears that your white count is perfectly normal considering that you had strep. Try the fasting and staying med-free prior to the next blood draw, see what differences it makes. Best of luck to you! Testing for leukemia with a WBC of only 11.6, hmm, I wonder what they would’ve tested me for a few weeks ago when my blood was all twacked out (wbc was at 25.3).

If you’re on meds, and you are scheduled to go for another blood workup, try fasting and being med-free for at least 12 hrs. prior to the blood draw – I’m keen to bet they come out with different numbers. It appears that your white count is perfectly normal considering that you had strep.
