Is it possible that someone with vasculitis has a high monocyte count ? If so , what kind of diseases could be the cause? My symptoms are fever , fatigue, severe back pain , neck and shoulders ; respond well to high levels of prednisone and I have little appetite.

    Yes , the level of monocytes may increase for some types of vasculitis . Monocytes can be increased in chronic infections. I'm glad you 've made a negative result in the study of bone marrow. The high sedimentation may be due to inflammatory or infectious causes. It seems that your hematologist will be doing a full scan.
