Dennis, a 24-year-old man, was taken to emergency surgery to repair several bone fractures sustained in an automobile accident. His previous medical history was unremarkable. He was in excellent health prior to the accident. Consider why Dennis' condition could result in abnormal hematologic test results and the possible complications that could occur during Dennis' treatment and recovery.
Laboratory results on Dennis, the trauma patient, two days after surgery are as follows:
All cultures were negative for bacteria and fungi. On further examination of the blood smear, it was noted that no abnormal cytoplasmic features were observed in the neutrophils. However, the nuclei of most of the bands appeared more condensed than normal, and many had two lobes in a dumbbell shape.
Why is the white cell count elevated?
