Question 1

what does an elevated monos pct mean?

Accepted Answer

CBC: I believe this may mean monocyte percent.

Question 2

2yr old cbc showed cytoplasmic vac toxic gran, micro2+ in october. cbc in june showed low lymph and elevated mono but no smear. should i still worry?

Accepted Answer

Lab data: You cannot follow lab results without a full understanding of their relationship to the clinical situation for which they were ordered.  Cytoplasmic vacuoles and toxic granulations in wbcs may be present at a moment in time when neutrophils are helping to clear foreign materials from the body.  Not sure what you are worried about, but doubt there is a necessity to continue.  Be happy.  Best.

Question 3

36 yr old male sed rate 7 feel terrible no doctor, what can this be.. i'm scared cbc also had slightly elevated wbc, mono, lymph, rbc, could be aids?

Accepted Answer

Sed rate: A sed rate of 7 is normal  the other findings are probably indicative of a mild viral infection   If worried about aids I would get an HIV test

Question 4

slightly low wbc, low platelets, low neutrophils ,no  baso's. elevated lymph's and mono's. does that mean bone sarcoidosis is back and active?

Accepted Answer

Give us the numbers: Medicine is quantitative....actual numbers are essential to make any diagnosis. Slight changes mean very little. They can be misleading at best. So send us the exact numbers of your blood counts, then we can help you to interpret their meaning. Also tell us more about  the past history of Sarcoidosis that you have mentioned

Question 5

27 y/o female with 4 days history of fever, night sweats, headache, generalized painful lymphadenopathy,  fatigue, elevated liver enzymes? mono neg

Accepted Answer

Bacterial infections: Looks acute- any associated pharyngitis? To look for other rare causes TB / lymphomas.

Question 6

i am 29 years old. feel very healthy. normal weight for my body. had ultrasound done on liver for elevated enzymes. just had mono and norovirus a few weeks ago. they found 3 small spots on my liver no bigger than 1 cm. thoughts? common causes?

Accepted Answer

Need much more info: You need to find out from your doctor what they mean when they say "spots".  Were these seen on ultrasound or with CT scan,other imaging?  Are they cystic or do they look like solid tissue abnormality.  It's way to hard to make any guesses not even knowing how these were imaged.  You had mono recently and this virus can affect the liver, so it may be nothing more than left over inflammation....

Question 7

i have lymph nodes appearing in neck which is under 1cm after ultra sound, all test neg hiv-mono-ebv, elevated lymphocytes do i need bone morrow biops?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Such small lymph nodes often are normal, and if the nodes are not enlarging, that's additional evidence against a serious condition. If any sort of biopsy is needed, it would be to remove one of the nodes, not a distant site like bone marrow. May also depend on how elevated your lymphocytes are. Probably nothing more need be done now, but discuss with your doctor.

Question 8

what could cause my mono and lymph % to be elevated on cbc?

Accepted Answer

Lowish neuts, maybe?: Percentages don't give much useful information, and absolute white cells counts are of importance if and only if they're considerably away from the reference range, which is set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside. Many folks simply run low-neutrophils for a lifetime without a problem. How do you FEEL?

Question 9

for how long after i have mono will my blood count of monocytes be elevated?

Accepted Answer

It's not: Monocytes are not elevated in mononucleosis. The cells in the blood that indicate mono are atypical lymphocytes, and they usually disappear within a few weeks.

Question 10

er because of pain from my neck into the back of my head, like a mild headache and my monocytes and basophills were a little elavated, but no mono?

Accepted Answer

What is the question: These tests mean nothing outside the context of full clinical assessment which should include detailed history and physical exam. Since this obviously is now not an emergency go and see your pcp and get evaluated.
