Question

a person with an increased eosinophil count might be suffering from
multiple choice
an acute bacterial infection
a head cold
a chronic bacterial infection
a viral infection
a parasitic worm infection

Explanation:

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell. They play a key role in the immune response against parasitic worms. When there is a parasitic worm infection, the body increases the production of eosinophils to combat the parasites. Acute bacterial infections usually lead to an increase in neutrophils. A head cold (often viral) may not specifically cause a significant eosinophil increase. Chronic bacterial infections also don't typically cause a major eosinophil rise like parasitic infections do. Viral infections may have different immune cell responses (e.g., lymphocytes may be more involved in some viral responses).

Answer:

a parasitic worm infection
