Both may be useful in determining or refuting a possible diagnosis. Monocytosis is the state of excess monocytes in the peripheral blood.
Normal moncoyte values. Monocytes account for between 4 and 8% of white blood cells. In a blood test their value can be found in the section on Complete Blood Count with the other types of white blood cells. Normal monocyte values are between 1000 and 4500 cells per ml. Therefore, if your monocyte count is between these two values, you can rest assured that it is a normal count and everything is fine. High monocyte values When monocytes exceed normal values it is almost always due to infections caused by viruses or parasites, such as the following: However, a high monocyte count can also be caused by a chronic inflammatory disease, tuberculosis, tumours or leukaemia. A high monocyte count is called monocytosis.
