good day Dr. Robert Galamaga. i would like to ask question regarding my monocytes, in the test results my monocytes is 02 i am worried about the result, i am working night shift, in the morning i go to school to study.. is there relevant causes regarding my work?
Hi there, Dont worry about monocyte count of 2%. Very rarely people with low monocyte counts can get some unusual infections such as mycobacteria, listeriosis, brucellosis etc. But I have seen many patients with less monocyte counts, but doing absolutely OK. As long as you don't have repeated bouts of fever, I would consider you as perfectly normal individual. Certainly low monocyte count is not related to your night shift work. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. With regards,
