I'm only 20 years old. And I do not have any current infection that I know of. My leukocytes are also elevated (11) and that's supposed to be normal with steroids - but not lymphocytes...

First, relax, It's very unlikely that you have leukemia. To begin with lymphocytes are a subset of leukocytes so the elevation of both is very likely a reflection of the same thing - some infection or inflammation somewhere in your body.
To the best of my knowledge Entocort is not associated with increased risk of leukemia. Some of the biologics do have a slight increased risk, but you haven't been on the Remicade long enough to have had much of a chance to induce anything like leukemia.
Follow-up with your doctor and figure it out together. But relax about the leukemia. It's way too soon to worry about that.
