it is supposed to be neutrophils..
monocytes are elevated in infections like tuberculosis
High monocytes can be caused by infections, such as bacterial or viral infections, autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammatory conditions, and certain types of cancer such as leukemia. It can also be seen in response to stress, trauma, or surgery. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
it is high in bacterial infection such as typhoid.

The main types of white blood cells are neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Neutrophils are the most abundant and are involved in fighting bacterial infections. Lymphocytes include B cells, which produce antibodies, and T cells, which help coordinate immune responses. Monocytes develop into macrophages and help engulf and destroy pathogens. Eosinophils and basophils are involved in allergic reactions and parasitic infections.
During a bacterial infection, the leukocyte count typically increases as the immune system responds to the invading pathogens. This rise is primarily due to an increase in neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in fighting bacterial infections. The body may also produce other immune cells, such as lymphocytes and monocytes, to help combat the infection. This elevated leukocyte count is often used as a clinical indicator of infection or inflammation.
Monocytes
MONO in a CBC blood test refers to monocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. Monocytes play a key role in the body's immune response by combating infections and other diseases. The levels of monocytes in the blood can indicate potential infections or inflammatory conditions.
macrophages and monocytes or this is 1st the others are second and third Neutrophils
GRAN stands for Granulocytes, which is a part of the WBCs. There are 5 types of WBCs (Differential Count): Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils. A collective count of Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils are together called Granulocytes. In the less advanced cell counters, ie. the 3 Part Differential Cell Counters, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes and Granulocytes are counted whereas in 5 Part Differential Cell counters, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils are counted separately and more accurately.
Monocytes are one of the classes of white blood cells. Absolute means the count your saw was the number of monocytes, not the percentage. If they're high, you may have an infection such as mono.
