Monocytosis: We have to see that in context of total white count. If white count is normal it is non specific. If white count is also very high, than it usually means either a viral infection, tuberculosis, aspergillosis, or some fungal infection. It can also be a first sign of bone marrow recovery in patients who are neutropenic. Rarely from monocytic leukemia.

Is it really?: The WBC differential usually reports the percentage of each type of WBC that is in the blood, not necessarily the absolute number. This can be calculated by multiplying the WBC count by the percentage. Abnormal percentages aren't really relevant; it is the absolute number that is important. Many labs are now reporting that as well; if the absolute number is normal, nothing to worry about!
