What is the primary hematological abnormality observed in agranulocytosis?

Show Answers

Significantly reduced absolute neutrophil countElevated absolute eosinophil levelsLowered absolute basophil countRaised absolute monocyte count

Explanation

The hallmark hematological feature of agranulocytosis is a marked decrease in the absolute neutrophil count, which leads to increased susceptibility to infections. Other white blood cell types such as eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes are not characteristically affected in this condition.
