A Case Study A 30-year-old man was transported to the emergency room with an unexplained fever, headache, and dizziness for the past two days, as well as indicators of dehydration and epistaxis. An initial examination revealed an oxygen saturation of 86%. (95-100 percent ). A positive Dengue IgM/IgG test and a platelet count of 15.0 mm3 are found in the laboratory (150, 000-450, 000 mm3). As a result, the physician gave the patient a blood transfusion and monitored his hydration level. 1. What blood component is most likely to be impacted and exhausted based on the indications and symptoms (headache + dizziness)? 2. What plasma component is most likely to be altered (elevated) physiologically in the setting of dehydration in the patient's case? 3. In the patient's instance, which blood component was most likely decreased when he had epistaxis? 4. In the patient's situation, what type of WBC is elevated? What is the morphology and granularity of the nucleus?
