A member asked:
For how long after i have mono will my blood count of monocytes be elevated?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Not important: Is your diagnosis of infectious mono correct? Because high monocytes can represent a variety of other diseases also. If you had lab proven infectious mono, the monocytes stay up for 4-8 weeks but that is not important. If you are worried re infecting others, the + igm of ebv is what determines if you can infect someone else and that may stay up up to 18 months.
