What is high mono on blood test mean? Howard, welcome to Answers! The term for a high blood circulating number of the white blood cells named monocytes is monocytosis. Monocytosis is an increase in the number of monocytes in the peripheral bloodstream. Various limits are given (e.g., a total number in excess of 800/mm3, regardless of the percentage, or a total greater than 8% with the total number less than 800).
Blood tests that look for EBV antibodies and liver function tests can also help with a diagnosis of mono. A CBC (complete blood count) will show if your lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, show certain changes that may be a sign of mono. How Is Mono Treated? There is no cure for mono. The virus eventually goes away, but it can take a few weeks. Antibiotics are NOT used to treat mono. That's because mono is caused by a virus, and antibiotics do not kill viruses. Once in a while, the doctor may prescribe drugs called steroids. This medicine is usually taken for about five days. It can help control swelling in the throat and tonsils. Your doctor or nurse will recommend the following steps to make you feel better: Get plenty of rest.
