Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Monocyte count is high in various conditions like infectious mononucleosis, viral infection, malaria etc. No need to worry about that. Slight increase in monocytes count is seen without any disease. You should go for peripheral smear examination and anemia profile and start treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
