Monocytosis

A monocytosis is an increase in the number of circulating monocytes[?].

A monocytosis is often present during chronic inflammation[?]. Diseases that produce these states include: tuberculosis, chronic neutropenia and Hodgkins disease[?].

Monocytosis can also be the result of certain leukaemias such as chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia[?] (CMML).
