Question

15. A patient has been experiencing severe persistent allergy symptoms that are reduced when she takes an antihistamine. Before the treatment, this patient was likely to have had increased activity of which leukocyte? 1. basophils 2. neutrophils 3. monocytes 4. natural killer cells

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1. basophils.Basophils are a type of white blood cell that play a role in the body's immune response. They release histamine and other chemicals during allergic reactions, which can cause symptoms such as itching, swelling, and redness. Antihistamines work by blocking the effects of histamine, thereby reducing the symptoms of allergies. Therefore, before treatment with an antihistamine, the patient likely had increased activity of basophils.
