Introduction
A high lymphocyte ratio and low monocyte ratio are usually caused by conditions such as the common cold, aplastic anemia, or leukemia. Treatment generally involves medication or surgery under a doctor's guidance. Malignant lymphatic system tumors can also lead to elevated lymphocyte levels and reduced monocyte levels, requiring timely bone marrow aspiration and appropriate treatment under medical supervision.
Generally, a high lymphocyte ratio accompanied by a low monocyte ratio is commonly caused by conditions such as the common cold, aplastic anemia, or leukemia. Treatment typically involves medication or surgery under a doctor's guidance. Specific causes are analyzed as follows:
1. Common Cold
When the body's immunity is low, infection with viruses such as cytomegalovirus or influenza virus usually leads to elevated lymphocyte levels and decreased monocyte counts. It is important to follow medical advice and take antiviral medications such as amantadine tablets or oseltamivir phosphate tablets.
2. Aplastic Anemia
Genetic mutations or immune system abnormalities may lead to aplastic anemia, which is often accompanied by symptoms such as bleeding and infections. Under medical supervision, patients may be prescribed medications such as vitamin K4 tablets or vitamin K1 injections.
3. Leukemia
Leukemia may result from prolonged exposure to chemicals due to occupational factors, or other physical influences. Common symptoms include enlargement of the liver and spleen, fatigue, and bleeding. Treatment under a physician’s guidance may involve chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or other methods to alleviate symptoms.
In addition, malignant tumors of the lymphatic system can also cause increased lymphocyte ratios and reduced monocyte ratios. It is essential to promptly undergo diagnostic procedures such as bone marrow aspiration under medical supervision to effectively relieve symptoms.
