Any type of extreme stress can cause an increase in leukocyte count, leading in leukocytosis. A burn is more likely to stimulate leukocyte proliferation in order to fight infection, which is a concern when the skin's barrier function is compromised.

<h3>Wha is leukocytosis?</h3>

Leukocytosis means you have a high white blood cell count. This means you have more white blood cells than usual. Leukocytosis is a normal immune response and not always a cause for concern. Most of the time, this means  your body is fighting an infection or inflammation.

Causes of leukocytosis -

neutrophils: inflammation and infection.

lymphocytosis: leukemia and viral infections.

monocytosis: cancer and other  infections.

eosinophils: parasites and allergies.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The best answer choice from the list, to respond to the question: Antibiotic treatment of E. coli is discouraged unless necessary due to concern over:___, would be, E: all of the above.

Explanation:

E. Coli, is the general name used for a group of bacteria that are usually harmless and make a really important part of the human GI tract. In fact, without their presence, that of E.Coli, and other bacteria that make part of the normal flora of the intenstines, digestion of certain foods, and the production of certain vitamins and minerals, would not be possible. Also, they are meant to help contain other bacteria, that are known as pathogenic and cause disease. However, when E. Coli is taken out of its environment in the feces, and especially certain groups, can become serious pathogens that cause diarrhea, and other things. However, it has become almost a trend to treat E. Coli infections with antibiotics and the problem that has ensued, has been manyfold. The first issue has been with resistance. Now we are facing superbugs, especially of the E. Coli variety, that do not respond to common treatments, because antibiotics were used all the time. Second, some strains of E. Coli, will not respond to the same antibiotics, and some, could be treated with simply measures such as diet, rest and hydration. There is also knowledge that since antibiotics are not specific, they will also kill other bacteria that are part of the normal flora of the GI tract, and finally, there is evidence that constant exposure to antibiotics will start having effects on the normal lining of the GI tract. This is why the answer is E.
