∙ 12y agoMonocytosis 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.)
