A child was exposed to a disease-causing virus (most likely chicken pox from the Varicella

B. The child will be administered antibiotics immediately to remove the disease-causing
pathogen.
C. Since macrophages already acted against the pathogen, they will engulf the virus immediately
upon exposure.
