I'm going through a rough patch right nowI have typhoid, and my monocytes count is showing up as zero. Should I be worried about this? Is there something serious going on? And if it is, what kind of medications should I be considering to address it? Also, I'm curious about what foods might help in boosting my monocytes count. Are there any specific tests I should get done? I'd really appreciate a quick replyI'm getting quite anxious about the whole situation.

Having a zero monocyte count can be a concerning finding, as monocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in fighting infections. In the context of typhoid fever, a zero monocyte count may indicate severe infection or bone marrow suppression. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
