Hello XXXXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM
Absolute increase in monocyte,eosinophil and basophil may be due to allergic reactions or viral causes that you might be suffering from,so it is important to know your clinical details and reasons for investigation.
However,these findings increases in many other conditions.Since you are 70 years old,all possibilities should be ruled out by clinical examination and investigations.
If findings are related to allergic causes then you need proper anti-allergic medicines.You should also avoid dust,smoke etc.
Viral causes are generally self limiting and only requires symptomatic treatment.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
