Question

Read the following statements and choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(A). In heavy bacterial infection, toxic granules are present in neutrophils.
(B). Basophilia is observed in all conditions except myxedema.
(C). Charcot-Leyden crystals are formed by degeneration of eosinophils.
(D). Human leukocyte antigen test is done to determine donor/recipient compatibility for tissue transplantation.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B) and (C) only
• B. (A), (B) and (D) only
• C. (A), (C) and (D) only.
• D. (B), (C) and (D) only.

Hint:

Charcot-Leyden crystals and HLA testing are important diagnostic and transplant compatibility tools

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Bacterial infections are characterized by toxic granules in neutrophils; Charcot-Leyden crystals result from eosinophil degeneration; and HLA testing is performed to ensure tissue compatibility for transplants.
