Answer - C - A patient with a white cell count of 30,000 per cubic millimeter suggests leukemia. A normal count is from 5,000 to 9,000 per cubic millimeter of blood; a count of 10,800 to 23,000 per cubic millimeter suggests a bacterial infection. Thus, a patient with a cell count of 30,000 should be checked for leukemia immediately and any other infection that may be weakening the immune system.
