Hello and I hope you read this.

My boyfriend has a very elevated white count and he is being worked up by a Hematologist for Polythycemia Vera and CML........Evidently a high white count can mean other things than Infection.

I am not sure what POH is but if it is Herpes it is viral and should not make his white count high.

I hope he is checked for everything and good luck. Oleander
