Brief Answer:
It is a subtype of white blood cells

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

First of all, it is a good sign that vast majority of the lab work up is in normal limmit and that is a pretty good thing. As far as, monocytes are concerned, it is a type of white blood cells. Usually white cells are raised in many infective conditions but every subtype reflects some specific kind of infections and increased monocytes usually are present woth chronic infections, viral or parasitic infections however the range in the blood cells you have shared, it is only borderline raised so It would be suggested to be repeated after a month or two, to assess for the increasing or decreasing trends. It will hopefully be normal or decreased back in next screens without any intervention however clinical correlation by your primary physician with your symptoms and examination is mandatory.

Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.

Brief Answer:
These can be related

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. Yes, these can both be raised in infections though it's a very trivial rise and can even be a normal variant in many individuals and is considered significant only if it remains high above 50-70 for longer times with or without signs of infection elsewhere. Regards.
