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.

What does it mean if the lymphocyte percentage in my DLC blood report is 3.08 percent and marked in red?

My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.
