Monocytopenia is a form of leukopenia associated with a deficiency of monocytes. The causes of monocytopenia include: acute infections stress treatment with glucocorticoids aplastic anemia hairy cell leukemia acute myeloid leukemia treatment with myelotoxic drugs and genetic syndromes as for example MonoMAC syndrome.It has been proposed as a measure to predict neutropenia though some research indicates that it is less effective than lymphopenia.
