Overview

Monocytosis is an increase in the number of circulating monocytes. In humans, 950/μL is regarded as at the upper limit of normal; monocyte counts above this level are regarded as monocytosis. [1] Monocytes are white blood cells that give rise to macrophages and dendritic cells in the immune system.

Historical Perspective

  • Monocytosis was first discovered by Federica Sallusto an Italian Biologist and Immunologist and and Antonio Lanzavecchia an Italian and Swiss Immunologist in 1994 when they paved the way by formulating different culture conditions starting from monocytes.
  • The association between Multiple gene mutations and Clonal hematopoiesis in monocytosis was made in 2022.

Classification

  • monocytosis has various causes and in can be classified to reactive or clonal monocytosis.

Pathophysiology

  • The pathogenesis of [disease name] is characterized by [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3].
  • The [gene name] gene/Mutation in [gene name] has been associated with the development of [disease name], involving the [molecular pathway] pathway.
  • On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
  • On microscopic histopathological analysis, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
