Eosinophil Percent-13 And Monocyte-1.0. Just Coming Off Skin Infection. Could This Be The Cause?
Question: My eosinophil percent is 13 and my monocyte is 1.0 but all other counts are perfect and within range...just coming off a skin infection so could that be the cause?
dear patient,
thanks for your health concerns. indeed some infections, particularly parasitic can be a common cause of elevated eosinophils; another common cause is if there is a skin or mucosal allergic reaction, since these are allergy cells of immune system.
