Brief Answer:
Not leukemia

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Monocyte count is borderline high. Usually it is due to some chronic infection or autoimmune disorder. It is not a common manifestation of leukemia.

Your bone marrow is normal. So we have excluded leukemia and other hematological disorders.

As flu like symptoms are persistent, I suggest you consult an infectious disease specialist for better understanding.

Overall, I feel that there is nothing to worry.

Hope this helps.
