If one of your classmates comes down with mononucleosis, he will probably notice that his neck and axillary area are tender. A differential white count would reveal an unusually high level of one type of leukocyte
Which leukocyte proliferates and how does activation of this leukocyte change its appearance? How would this relate to the axillary tenderness?
What will be an ideal response?
There are several lymphocytes in the differential count, and activation makes several of them look large (and atypically similar to a monocyte, hence the name of the condition). Inflammation of lymph nodes explains the location of the tenderness.
