Monocytes are a type of white blood cell in the body. They serve as a first line of defense for the body to fight off infection. Problems with the immune system, such as a low monocyte count, can lead to an increased risk for infection.

The only diseases that can be termed as being caused by a low monocyte count are those that are directly associated with a decrease or absence of monocyte production. Most chronic anemias will have a negative affect on the number of monocytes. Some lymphomas and leukemias can also be the culprit.
