A 23 year-old woman has noticed that she develops a skin rash if she spends prolonged periods outdoors. She has a malar rash on physical examination. Laboratory studies include a positive ANA test result with a titer of 1:1024 and a "rim" pattern. An anti-double stranded DNA test is also positive. The hemoglobin concentration is 12.1 g/dL, hematocrit 35.5%, platelet count 109,000/mm3, and WBC 4500/mm3. Which of the following findings is most likely to be demonstrated by a WBC differential count?
A. Eosinophilia
B. Lymphocytosis
C. Monocytosis
D. Neutrophilia
E. Basophilia
Anyone wanna explain why the answer is Monocytosis and not Lymphocytosis?
