Monocytosis is a laboratory finding, not a disease. You may be referring to mononucleosis, which is a common and contagious viral illness, often referred to as "the kissing disease." Monocytosis can be caused by a variety of issues, including a few malignancies (cancers), but is usually found in viral illnesses. Most viral illnesses are contagious to varying degrees. (I am a board-certified family physician but still capable of making mistakes. Any serious medical questions are best answered by your own healthcare provider.)

systemic mastocytosis is diagnosed via bone marrow biopsy. If mast cells are found in the bone marrow and you have another symptom that fits the criteria then you will be diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis. You can read more about it at www.tmsforacure.org.
A biopsy of the skin patches aids diagnosis. An elevated level of histamine in the urine or blood is also indicative of mastocytosis.
I believe it is myeloid.
