- Monocytosis -is an increase in numbers of monocytes (haematogenous macrophages) in the blood.
- Occurs:
- In conjunction with neutrophilia in fear, excitement etc.
- In the chronic stages of bacterial disease.
- Monocytes very rarely behave as macrophages in the blood.
- However, this is seen in cases of severe intravascular haemolysis of red blood cells where remnants of the RBC's are found in their cytoplasm.
