http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocyte
Monocytosis is the state of excess monocytes in the peripheral blood. It may be indicative of various disease states. Examples of processes that can increase a monocyte count include:
chronic inflammation
stress response
Cushing's syndrome (hyperadrenocorticism)
immune-mediated disease
pyogranulomatous disease
necrosis
red blood cell regeneration
Viral Fever
sarcoidosis
A high count of CD14+CD16++ monocytes is found in severe infection (sepsis) and a very low count of these cells is found after therapy with immuno-suppressive glucocorticoids.
