A 12-mоnth-оld girl is brоught to the emergency depаrtment for evаluаtion of fever. Two days prior to admission the patient developed a fever to 39.1⁰C (102.3⁰F) and became irritable with nasal discharge and decreased oral intake. His birth history is unremarkable. He lives at home with his mother and 6-year-old brother, who attends elementary school where several kids have been absent recently for illness. His heart rate is 137/min, blood pressure is 72/48 mm Hg, respiratory rate is 35/min, and rectal temperature is 39.3⁰C (102.7⁰F). Neurologic examination is remarkable for a lethargic-appearing child who is responsive to stimulation. His anterior fontanel is open and bulging. The resident caring for the patient is certain that he has acute bacterial meningitis and orders a lumbar puncture. Which of the cerebrospinal fluid results from the lumbar puncture in the table below would be most consistent with acute bacterial meningitis?
