Solution

failed
failed

The answer is D) Acute leukemia = a slow advancing form of cancer that produces large number of immature myeloblast stages of white blood cells.

Explanation for each option:

A) Leukopenia = abnormally low white blood count commonly induced by drugs, glucocorticoids, and anti-cancer agents

  • This is correct. Leukopenia refers to a decrease in the number of white blood cells, which can indeed be caused by certain medications and treatments.

B) Leukocytosis = white blood cell counts greater than 11,000 cells/mm³

  • This is correct. Leukocytosis is defined as an increase in the number of white blood cells, typically above 11,000 cells/mm³.

C) Infectious mononucleosis = "kissing disease" caused by Epstein Barr virus resulting in excessive numbers of atypical monocytes

  • This is correct. Infectious mononucleosis is often referred to as the "kissing disease" and is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, leading to an increase in atypical monocytes.

D) Acute leukemia = a slow advancing form of cancer that produces large number of immature myeloblast stages of white blood cells

  • This is incorrect. Acute leukemia is characterized by a rapid progression and the production of a large number of immature white blood cells, not a slow advancement.

E) All of the above conditions are correctly matched to their descriptions

  • This is incorrect because option D is not correctly matched.

In summary, option D is the condition that is not correctly matched to its description.
