Who is this surgery for?
- Unexplained persistent fever, fatigue, or recurrent infections suggesting immune system issues.
- Abnormal white blood cell count, specifically elevated (monocytosis) or decreased (monocytopenia) monocytes found on a routine blood test.
- Suspected or diagnosed conditions like chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), other myelodysplastic syndromes, or monocytic leukemia.
- Underlying autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis) or chronic inflammatory disorders that can affect monocyte levels.
- Evaluation of certain infections, such as tuberculosis or endocarditis, which can cause reactive monocytosis.
- Monitoring of patients with known hematologic conditions or those undergoing treatments that may impact bone marrow function.
How to prepare
- Compile a complete personal and family medical history, including any history of infections, autoimmune conditions, or blood disorders.
- Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs.
- Fasting may be required for 8-12 hours before blood draws for certain metabolic or genetic panels, as advised by the physician.
- Wear comfortable clothing for the physical examination and potential blood draw.
- Be prepared to discuss symptoms in detail, including their duration, severity, and any triggering factors.
Risks & possible complications
- Risks associated with blood draws, such as minor pain, bruising, or rarely, infection at the puncture site.
- Potential for anxiety or stress related to the diagnosis of a chronic or serious underlying condition.
- If a bone marrow biopsy is indicated (for deeper investigation), risks include pain, bleeding, or infection at the biopsy site.
- Treatment-related side effects depending on the therapy initiated (e.g., medication side effects, chemotherapy effects).
- In rare cases, complications from the underlying disorder itself if not adequately managed, such as severe infection or progression of a hematologic cancer.

- Follow-up appointments are crucial to review test results, confirm a diagnosis, and initiate or adjust a treatment plan.
- Adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen, which may include medications, dietary changes, or further specialist referrals.
- Regular monitoring through follow-up blood tests to assess treatment response and monocyte levels over time.
- Implementing lifestyle measures to support immune health, such as a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress management, as recommended by the physician.

Typical hospital stay:
Typically 0 days (outpatient) or 1-3 days if invasive diagnostics (e.g., bone marrow biopsy) or treatment initiation requires admission.

Sarah Jones, a 42-year-old elementary school...
Sarah Jones, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two, had always been the picture of health. Over the past six months, however, she was plagued by relentless fatigue, frequent low-grade fevers, and a series of stubborn skin infections that wouldn't heal. Her primary care physician, after noting a consistently high monocyte count in her bloodwork, referred her to an internal medicine specialist, Dr. Evans. Dr. Evans suspected a chronic monocyte disorder, possibly Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), and recommended a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration to get a definitive diagnosis. The procedure itself was anxiety-inducing; Sarah felt a deep pressure and a brief, sharp pain during the aspiration. The week-long wait for results was agonizing, filled with fear for her future and her family. The diagnosis confirmed CMML, a type of blood cancer. While daunting, having a clear answer was paradoxically a relief. Sarah began targeted therapy. A year later, her monocyte counts are controlled, her energy is returning, and she manages her condition as a chronic illness. The emotional journey shifted from terrifying uncertainty to a determined, informed resilience, allowing her to focus on living fully with her family.
