Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I recently got my CBC done as a part of a routine check-up in which my Hgb, RBC, platelets, WBC counts was entirely within the range except for monocytes. My monocytes were 5280 per microliter of blood. I feel healthy otherwise and except for PCOS have no other known medical condition. My GP said that monocytes were nothing to worry about as TLC is fine and I am fine. So can you tell me if it is nothing to worry?
Hello,
Welcome to the icliniq.com.
I read your concern, and below is my opinion. There are many causes for high monocyte count. Your monocyte count is high and cannot be neglected.The temporary viral infection also can cause high monocyte count. You do not have any symptoms, so temporary mild viral infection might be cause for high monocyte. You have to repeat your full CBC with peripheral smear examination report after seven days. If still monocyte count is high, then you have to consult a hematologist for detailed evaluation. I hope I have answered your question. I will be glad to help you further, if required.
