Chapter 10, Problem 31CAQ
Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Elske and Nils suffered from the food poisoning. They both have returned from the night out and ate fast food from the stalls at the funfair. Their blood reports showed the increase in the number of their white blood cells especially the neutrophils.
Characters in the case:
Elske and the Nils.
Adequate information:
Both the patients suffered from the food poisoning due to the elevated numbers of the white blood cells.
To determine: the probable cause of the increase in the white blood cells due to the food poisoning.

Your patient is an 85-year-old man with congestive heart failure (CHF). BP = 145/87. He has
been very ill and hasn't been eating. A blood test shows that he has hypoproteinemia (low
levels of protein in the blood).
Would an intravenous (IV) infusion of albumin be an appropriate treatment? Why or why not?
Yes, because it would help with blood clotting.
No, because it would help with blood clotting.
Yes, because it would lead to an increase in blood volume.
No, because it would lead to an increase in blood volume.
Yes, because it would decrease his blood pressure.
No, because it would decrease his blood pressure.
Yes, because since he doesn't have enough protein in his blood, you should add more.
No, because since he doesn't have enough protein in his blood, you should add more.
Neutrophils = 55 , Lymphocytes = 30 , Monocytes = 7 , Eosinophils = 3 , Basophils = 5
Based off these numbers would this person be considered healthy? Please explain your reasoning.

The total leukocyte count was 15.8 × 109 /L. The differential count was as follows: Band neutrophils 12% Segmented neutrophils 65% Lymphocytes 23% Light blue-gray inclusions were observed in the cytoplasm of many of the bands and segmented neutrophils.
