Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic. From the reference range provided it seems that the absolute monocyte count of your son is within the normal range though on the upper limit of normal range. It is not a cause of concern in the absence of any symptoms. Kindly be reassured that everything is ok. Hope it helped.
