Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leukocytosis is defined as an increase in the number of white blood cells (WBCs) in the blood. The normal range for WBCs is 4,500-11,000 cells/microL. Therefore, any number above 11,000 cells/microL would be considered leukocytosis. The highest option listed, 100,000 cells/microL, is not a commonly seen number in leukocytosis and would likely indicate a more severe condition.
