Summary Introduction

To review:

a. The part of the immune system responsible for producing flu-like symptoms.

b. The reason for an increased number of neutrophils observed in blood work.

c. The meaning of the increase in the number of lymphocytes instead of neutrophils.

Introduction:

The immune responses presented by the body are induced when a pathogen or an antigen capable of producing antibodies enters the body. The variation in the type of pathogen results in a change in the production of the type of cells that are used for killing it. The symptoms produced due to the immune response also vary with the variation in the type of the pathogen.
