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.
