A member asked:
My wbc count came back low 2.7, monocytes high (19.9) i have been having joint and body pain with headaches on and off for a month...concern?

Could be mono: The combination of leukopenia (low white blood cell count) and monocytosis (high monocytes count) is suggestive of a viral infection (Epstein Barr) called mononucleosis. Mononucleosis can cause fatigue, muscle and joint aches, headache, sore throat and rarely enlargement of the spleen. Symptoms can last for weeks, but usually it does not cause any significant long-term effects.

My recent lab work shows low WBC 3.1, high monocyte 13.1%, ANC 1.9, and low platelets 136. 2 months ago my WBC were 6.0, monocytes 7%, ANC 5.0, and platelets 123. This seems like a big difference to me. Should I be concerned? No recent med changes?
