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.[1]

It has been proposed as a measure to predict neutropenia,[2] though some research indicates that it is less effective than lymphopenia.[3]
