Hello doctor, my husband blood test report shows monocytes at 11 percent. Could you please explain what this means? What could be the reason for it, and what steps should I take next? I am really worried.

Mildly high, may indicate past infection or mild inflammation. Usually not serious unless other counts are abnormal.

Hello Doctors, i am attaching my blood report and listing my symptoms. I have been suffering from fever for the past four days, only at night, along with muscle aches during the night. My daytime temperature and condition are normal. Could you please clarify whether this is a normal fever or typhoid?

What causes the neutrophil/lymphocytes ratio to be high?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am feeling fever, chills in the body, tiredness, and gastric issues for the last 10 days. As per doctor suggestion I went for CBC and Widal test. Platelet count is 550, monocytes are 12:20, and all other CBC report is good. I am attaching the Widal test report. Is it typhoid fever or something else?
