Hello. Your son according to the report provided has a high wbc count with increased neutrophils. Neutrophilia is commonly seen in bacterial infections. Monocle count is not that much elevated to signify mononucleosis. However a peripheral blood smear might help in this regard. In my opinion it is bacterial infection and should be treated by antibiotics.
