    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilia

    Eosinophilia is a condition in which the eosinophil count in the peripheral blood exceeds 5 × 10 8 /L (500/μL). [1] Hypereosinophilia is an elevation in an individual's circulating blood eosinophil count above 1.5 × 10 9 /L (i.e. 1,500/μL).

    Upon achieving appropriate control over eosinophilia, the medication can be gradually reduced. [25] Steroid-refractory HES has been managed with a variety of cytotoxic treatments. [24] Out of all of them, hydroxyurea has been researched the most and has been linked to few side effects at doses as high as 2 g per day. [26]

  4. Eosinophilic pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_pneumonia

    Laboratory tests typical of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia include increased levels of eosinophils in the blood, a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, iron deficiency anemia, and increased platelets. A chest X-ray can show abnormalities anywhere, but the most specific finding is increased shadow in the periphery of the lungs, away from the heart.

    For instance, patients with eosinophilic asthma have high levels of eosinophils that lead to inflammation and tissue damage, making it more difficult for patients to breathe. [6] [7] Eosinophils persist in the circulation for 8–12 hours, and can survive in tissue for an additional 8–12 days in the absence of stimulation. [8]

    Long-term treatment with corticosteroids lowers blood eosinophil levels as well as suppresses and prevents complications of the disease in >80% of cases. However, signs and symptoms of the disease recur in virtually all cases if corticosteroid dosages are tapered in order to reduce the many adverse side effects of corticosteroids.

  7. The symptoms of DRESS syndrome usually begin 2 to 6 weeks but uncommonly up to 8–16 weeks after exposure to an offending drug. Symptoms generally include fever, an often itchy rash which may be morbilliform or consist mainly of macules or plaques, facial edema (i.e. swelling, which is a hallmark of the disease), enlarged and sometimes painful lymph nodes, and other symptoms due to ...

  8. Eosinophilic myocarditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_myocarditis

    The specific treatment (i.e. treatment other than measures to support the cardiovascular system) of eosinophilic myocarditis differs from the specific treatment of other forms of myocarditis in that it is focused on relieving the underlying reason for the excessively high numbers and hyperactivity of eosinophils as well as on inhibiting the ...

  9. Eosinophilic esophagitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_esophagitis

    Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory condition of the esophagus that involves eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. In healthy individuals, the esophagus is typically devoid of eosinophils. [2] In EoE, eosinophils migrate to the esophagus in large numbers.
