19 kwi 2022 · Eosinophilia (e-o-sin-o-FIL-e-uh) is a higher than normal number of eosinophil cells, a type of disease-fighting white blood cell. Eosinophilia can be caused by a variety of conditions and disorders, most commonly by an allergic reaction or a parasitic infection.
The objectives of this study were to identify cases of hypereosinophilia in a tertiary pediatric medical center, determine clinical characteristics and disease associations, and estimate the incidence of hypereosinophilia in the hospital and geographic populations.
15 wrz 2021 · Eosinophils are white blood cells that are involved in a diverse set of cellular processes in most vertebrates but are best known for their role in combating parasitic infection. 1 In diseases such as asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), eosinophilic gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, and systemic hypereosinophilic diseases ...
11 maj 2022 · Abstract. Objectives. To identify the etiology of peripheral eosinophilia in a large pediatric population and to develop a diagnostic algorithm to help guide diagnosis and management of peripheral eosinophilia in the outpatient pediatric population. Study design.
Hypereosinophilic syndrome, a subcategory of idiopathic eosinophilia, is defined by the presence of a peripheral blood eosinophil count of 1.5 × 10 9 /L or greater for at least 6 months (a shorter duration is acceptable in the presence of symptoms that require eosinophil-lowering therapy), exclusion of both secondary and clonal eosinophilia ...
ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS. Eosinophils are involved in a diverse range of processes. Human data suggest that eosinophils aid in body homeostasis; contribute to defense against parasitic, bacterial, and viral in-fections; are involved in cancer immunology; and have a path-ologic role in eosinophilic diseases.
