But my monocyte and basophils are 0% So is there any thing to worry XXXXXXX that???

Brief Answer: Please find detail answer below. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXX Thanks for writing back Low monocyte count is also related to infection.Normal level of monocyte count is 2% to 8%. Some bacterial infection causes lowering of monocyte count in blood.It may also be due to deficiency of vitamins like vitamin B 12 and folic acid,so you can empirically take Vitamin B complex capsule and folic acid tablet once daily . Normal basophil count is 0-2 %. So,your findings are not serious at all. Get well soon. Hope I have answered your question. Further queries are most welcome. Take Care Dr.Indu XXXXXXX
