What medicine should I take if the absolute value of monocytes is high

A high absolute value of monocytes usually does not require immediate medication, and the cause should be identified first. It may be caused by virus infection, tuberculosis, autoimmune disease, blood system disease or chronic inflammation, and treatment scheme shall be selected according to specific causes.

1. Viral infection:

Mononucleosis is common in EB virus and cytomegalovirus infections, and generally does not require special medication. Antiviral drugs such as acyclovir and ganciclovir should only be used in severe cases and strictly follow medical advice. In most cases, self-healing can be achieved through supportive treatments such as rest and fluid replacement.

2. tuberculosis:

Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection may lead to the continuous increase of monocytes. The standard treatment plan includes the combination of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol and other anti tuberculosis drugs, and requires completion of a standardized course of treatment for at least 6 months. Regular monitoring of liver function is required during medication. 3. Autoimmune diseases: Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus may cause an increase in monocytes. Common medications include immunosuppressants such as methotrexate and leflunomide, as well as glucocorticoids such as prednisone. Individualized medication should be administered under the guidance of a rheumatologist and immunologist.

4. Hematological disorders:

Hematological disorders such as chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome require targeted treatment. Possible use of drugs such as hydroxyurea and decitabine, and some cases require hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Diagnosis requires a combination of bone marrow puncture and other examinations.

5. Chronic inflammation:

Chronic inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease can lead to an increase in monocytes. Common medications include mesalazine, azathioprine, etc. It is necessary to cooperate with colonoscopy to clarify the severity of the condition and avoid self medication. When the absolute value of monocytes is found to be high, it is recommended to complete blood routine examination, peripheral blood smear, inflammatory indicators, autoantibodies, virus serology and other tests. Daily attention should be paid to maintaining sufficient sleep, avoiding overwork, and supplementing vitamin C and high-quality protein in moderation. If accompanied by symptoms such as persistent fever, weight loss, and lymph node enlargement, it is necessary to seek timely medical attention from a hematology department. Avoid taking whitening drugs or immune modulators without authorization, and all treatments must be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors.
