A 24-year-old man came into the ER with a broken leg. A blood test was ordered and his WBC count was 22 × 10^3/μl. Five hours later, a second blood test resulted in values of 7 × 10^3/μl. What is the cause of the increased WBC count with the first test?

A patient visits his dentist, who notices a sore on the patient’s lip. The sore was unusual in that there was no pain or drainage from the sore. The patient was subsequently admitted to the hospital with a violent shaking chill. His lab values were Hct 30%, platelets 400,000/μl, WBC 4200/μl, 68% lymphocytes, and 20% neutrophils. What is the diagnosis of this patient?
