Found Elevated Monocytes And Eosinophils Level. What's Going On?

Thanks for your query.
1. Monocytes are the white blood cell associated with the immune system of the body.
Normal range: 200-950 cells/µL
2. Eosinophils are the white blood cell associated with allergic response.
Normal range: Less than 350 cells/µL
So, your blood test reveals increase in count of both Monocytes & Eosinophils.
It can be attributed to either allergic diseases (like asthma, seasonal allergies, etc.) or infections from parasites.
Based on your medical history, asthma or seasonal allergy seems to be a causative factor for these blood test results.
Management includes:
1. Antihistamine preparations- for symptomatic relief during acute attacks.
2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies.
3. Maintain adequate hydration & take a healthy balance diet.
4. Avoid stress- practice meditation & regular exercise.
5. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
Do consult a Pulmonologist to get examined and confirm the fact. Also to formulate the further management.
Wishing you a good health.
Hope this answers your query. Let me know if I need to clarify further.
Take care.
