Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

An elevated white blood cell count means you have an infection. The WBC's re the fighter cells that come to the rescue when something goes wrong in our bodies.

OK so you said you went to the "diseases of unknown origin" . Didn't they have an answer for you? They didn't tell you WHY your white blood cells are so high? If you didn't find out nothing why did you go? They had to have told you something????? How would we know?? I would think they the professionals would have been able to tell you that? That question to me doesn't even make sense "How contagious is a CURED Help (hep) C clean test is what you wrote. What is that??
I never heard of a "hep C clean test " you got me there. If you are "cured" why would there be another test for the "hep c clean test" ?? What is the clean part ??? Sorry I couldn't have helped more but it just doesn't make any sense to me especially when you are "joined" in other a lot of other groups but you haven't joined the Hep C group.......hmmm Hope you can find more answers! Good luck!!
