hello and welcome to HCM,
The blood report suggests presence of infection leading to increased white blood cell counts.
Monocyte count is slightly.
The increase in WBC is most probably due to increase in neutrophil levels.
Neutrophils are main cells which are increased in bacterial infection.
Accompanying decreased monocytosis can be secondary to the increased neutrophils.
RDW is the parameter which estimates the variation in the shaped to red bleed cells.
In your case, the RDW is within normal range.
Consult your treating doctor at the earliest.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Qahal
