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.
