What is it?
The explanation:

Answer 1

Answer: See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

A diagnoses cannot be given solely off of this blood test and information. It would SUGGEST that the patient is likely fighting off an infection. Both neutrophils and monocytes are white blood cells that are involved in the passive immune system. They have numerous different targets and responsibilities which is why this blood test is not a diagnostic test. Their levels are most likely high because there is an infection that the body is fighting somewhere in the body.
