You would expect absolute neutrophilic leukocytosis in a patient with
a) endotoxic shock b) viral pneumoniae c) bronchial asthma d) cushing's syndrome e) systemic lupus erythematosus

i think its cushings syndrome.As the hormone causes demargination of neutrophills causing relative absolute neutrophilia.

why not A as it is probably a bacterial infection and neutrophilia is seen in it?

because in any bacterial infection u can see complete increase in leucocyte count,including the neutrophills,monocytes...So then u cant call it absolute neutrophilia.
In viral infections there is lymphocytosis In bronchial asthma there is eosinophilia as its ans allergic rxn SLE is autoimmune disorder with some leucocytosis but no absolute neutrophilia. This exp[anation is as per my understanding...... |
