Q

Left shift of the neutrophil curve means

A

immature neutrophils, massive bacterial infection, tissue necrosis and cortisol overload. Decreased Fc receptors, which helps neutrophils to recognize immunoglobulin which is going to act as an opsonin for phagocytosis. Immature neutrophils won’t have Fc receptors.
