Why the absolute monocytes are low in my routine blood work?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Based on your query, my opinion is as follows (attachment removed to protect patient identity):

1. Routine variation in various white blood cell count is normal. When 100 cells are counted and the other cell group is a bit increased, then the other cell group like monocytes here may turn low in counts.
2. As all other counts are normal, no bone marrow disease can be suspected. This is just a routine variation.
3. If you look at maximum percentage of all cells together in WBC, it will be more than 100 percent together. Variation in other cell line inversely affects the count.
4. As there is no infection or any other problems, this variation can be safely ignored. If other cell counts come near minimum limits, then this will come back. Repeat the test after three months and it should be normal.
