A member asked:

High monocyte %, manual count in toddler. all other results on cbc normal, mono ct 16. cause for concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: The monocytes are often up some in a variety of viral illnesses but less commonly than the lymphocytes. Infectious mononucleosis does occur in a muted ( less intense) form in toddlers & the usual mono blood test can be negative until months after the illness has passed. If the kid is cruising around enjoying life i would ignore the test & get back to living.
