Question 4 of 5
Which of the following will be present in chronic bacterial infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chronic bacterial infections typically trigger neutrophilia (A), an increase in neutrophils, as the primary innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. Basophilia (B) is rare and allergy-related, lymphocytosis (C) is viral or chronic lymphocytic leukemia-related, eosinophilia (D) is parasitic/allergic, and monocytosis (E) is more chronic inflammatory or mycobacterial—neutrophilia is the hallmark.
Question 5 of 5
Spherocytosis is a common cause of inherited haemolytic anaemia. The most likely cause for spherocytosis is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hereditary spherocytosis results from defects in peripheral proteins (B) like spectrin or ankyrin, disrupting RBC membrane stability, leading to spherical shape and hemolysis. Integral protein defects (A) are less specific, rolealux (C) is a typo (likely ‘rouleaux,’ unrelated), sickle cells (D) are sickle cell disease, and decreased RBC size (E) isn’t causative—peripheral protein defects are key.
