1. monocyte is the largest cell volume in the classification of leukocytes, but the content of monocytes in the blood is relatively small, and its normal value range is only (0.1~1.0)×10^9/L. Elevated monocytes are common in typhoid fever, tuberculosis, malaria, subacute bacterial endocarditis and other diseases, but the elevation is not obvious.
