Question

multiple choice question
an elevated neutrophil count is called ______.

○ eosinophilia
○ hyperemia
○ neutrophilia
○ leukopenia

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Eosinophilia: Elevated eosinophil count, not neutrophils. Eliminate.
• Hyperemia: Increased blood flow, not related to neutrophil count. Eliminate.
• Neutrophilia: Defined as elevated neutrophil count. This matches.
• Leukopenia: Decreased white blood cell count, opposite of elevated. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. neutrophilia (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option as C; if labels differ, adjust, but here the correct option is the one with "neutrophilia")
