Explanation:

Neutrophils are specialized kinds of white blood cells or leukocytes. These are made in the body's bone marrow, and take part in the human body's immune response, by engulfing and  digesting invading bacteria through phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells ingest large particles, including other cells, by enclosing the particles in an extension of the cell membrane and budding off a new vesicle.

Infections are the invasion of the body‘s tissue by pathogens; these are biological disease-causing agents. Pathogens can multiply and spread within the tissue and produce toxins which lead to further damage of systems and organs .

Her doctor might conclude that Chantal has a bacterial infection.

Chantal has a bacterial infection

Explanation:

Neutrophil is a type of white blood cell. Plasma, blood cells and platelets are the constituents of blood. Bloc cells are of two types, red blood cells and white blood cells. White blood cells function to help the body fight infections and prevent diseases.  

White blood cells are of three types, neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils. Among these neutrophil are seen in major proportion. Any foreign agent that the body is exposed to is called an antigen and as soon as the body detects an antigen white blood cells release chemical to kill the antigens.

Neutrophils can move freely throughout the circulatory network unlike basophil and eosinophil. Thus a bacterial infection will induce the production of large number of neutrophils.
