Eosinopenia is associated with several disease states and conditions, including inflammation and sepsis, endogenous catecholamines, and use of glucocorticoids. [1] There are also medications that deliberately target eosinophils in order to treat eosinophil-mediated diseases, causing drug-induced eosinopenia.
3 mar 2011 · As a cheap test for early identification of critically ill patients at high risk of mortality on admission to ICU, eosinopenia might aid physicians in their initial decisions, and help to identify patients who may require more aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Eosinopenia is defined as an absolute eosinophil count of less than 0.09 × 10 9 /L and can be difficult to detect because the reference interval is low. Eosinopenia often accompanies other cytopenias in conditions that result in marrow hypoplasia, specifically involving leukocytes.
5 gru 2015 · Unfortunately, despite recent advances in molecular and immunologic techniques, the etiology remains unproven in the overwhelming majority of cases. This review presents a practical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of patients presenting with unexplained marked eosinophilia.
24 maj 2021 · Sepsis is a life-threatening and time-critical medical emergency; therefore, the early diagnosis of sepsis is essential to timely treatment and favorable outcomes for patients susceptible to sepsis. Eosinopenia has been identified as a potential biomarker of sepsis in the past decade.
It is essential to define any molecular defects (and thereby therapeutic targets), the exact histomorphological diagnosis and extent of organ involvement (organ damage) by appropriate staging investigations in order to develop an optimal treatment plan.
Eosinopenia is defined as a reduction of circulating eosinophils <0.01 × 109 /l. Idiopathic eosinopenia appears to be a very rare event or syndrome. Eosinopenia in acute stress is mediated by adrenal glucocorticosteroids and epinephrine, while in acute inflammatory states it is not dependent upon the endocrine mechanisms.
