[Monocytosis in pediatrics]

L Torres-Córdoba, J L Lepe-Zúñiga

    Boletin Medico Del Hospital Infantil De Mexico
    |September 1, 1980

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Monocytosis, an elevated monocyte count, is common in children with infections, particularly abscesses. This condition often co-occurs with neutrophilia but is not linked to malnutrition, age, or outcome.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Hematology
    • Clinical Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Monocytosis is a hematological finding that can indicate underlying disease in children.
    • Understanding the clinical associations of monocytosis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Purpose:

    • To retrospectively survey the occurrence and clinical correlates of monocytosis in hospitalized children.
    • To identify factors associated with monocytosis in a pediatric population.

    Summary:

    • The study identified monocytosis in children with elevated monocyte counts (mean + 4 standard deviations).
    • Children with monocytosis experienced more infections, especially abscesses, and frequently showed neutrophilia.
    • No association was found between monocytosis and malnutrition, age, hemoglobin, lymphocyte count, drug administration, or patient outcome.

    Impact:

    • This research highlights the link between monocytosis and infection in children, aiding in differential diagnosis.
    • Findings suggest monocytosis, alongside neutrophilia, may serve as a marker for infections like abscesses in pediatric patients.
