Here is the definition I found for Leukocytosis on the computer:

Main Entry: leu·ko·cy·to·sis Pronunciation: "lü-k&-sI-'tO-s&s, -k&-s&- Function: noun Etymology: New Latin Date: 1866 : an increase in the number of white blood cells in the circulating blood

So, with that definition, with an increase in white blood cells, that would mean, infection..of some sort.
