Textbook QuestionMr. White developed neutropenia as a consequence of cancer chemotherapy, which destroyed much of his bone marrow. What other components of the immune system would be harmed by bone marrow destruction? Would you expect his hematocrit to be elevated or decreased?

Textbook QuestionMr. James, an 80-year-old man, is grumbling about having to receive a flu shot every year.
