My blood test report shows ESR 36 and monocytes 0. I do not have fever, chills, or burning urination, but I do have back pain. Is having 0 monocytes normal, and can it be harmful for my body?

Monocytes can temporarily drop with infections or stress. ESR of 36 is mildly high and may relate to inflammation. Back pain could be musculoskeletal. Not serious if symptoms improve.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test

My 4 year old daughter X ray report shows prominent pulmonary bronchovascular markings. Her abdominal scan shows enteritis, cystitis, and subcentimetric lymph nodes in the mesentery. She has been experiencing frequent episodes of fever, cold, cough, and abdominal pain over the past two months. Currently, her breathing is very noisy. I would like to understand what all this inflammation means and whether it indicates a serious condition.
