A member asked:

Painful aches, nerve pain throughout monocytes 16.7, wbc 3.9. monocytes went up since previous test from 9.8 to now 16.7. hct-47.9. causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nonbacterial: This peripheral blood pattern and generalized aching suggest a viral infection and not a bacterial infection. The absence of anemia seems to indicate no serious bone marrow pathology. If symptoms don't resolve checking for viral hepatitis or even mononucleosis is advisable. A specialist in infectious diseases or a hematologist would be best to further evaluate your illness and appropriate tests
