  2. Eosinopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinopenia

    Eosinopenia is a condition where the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in circulating blood is lower than normal. [1] Eosinophils are a type of granulocyte and consequently from the same cellular lineage as neutrophils, basophils, and mast cells.

    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.

  4. Eosinophilia - Wikipedia

    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 ).

  5. Hypereosinophilic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypereosinophilic_syndrome

    Depending on eosinophil target-organ infiltration, the clinical presentation of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) varies from patient to patient. [13] Individuals with myeloproliferative variant HES may be more likely to experience mucosal ulcerations involving the genitalia or airways, while patients with lymphocytic variant HES typically exhibit prominent skin symptoms such as urticarial ...

  6. Eosinophilic pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_pneumonia

    Eosinophilic pneumonia is diagnosed in one of three circumstances: when a complete blood count reveals increased eosinophils and a chest X-ray or computed tomography identifies abnormalities in the lungs, when a biopsy identifies increased eosinophils in lung tissue, or when increased eosinophils are found in fluid obtained by a bronchoscopy ...

    Thus, it is now evident that the normal median blood eosinophil count in healthy adults is around 100 cells/μL, with counts above 400 cells/μL considered outside the normal range. Current cutoffs such as 150 or 300 cells/μL used in asthma or COPD management fall within the normal range. [29]

  8. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_gastroenteritis

    Subserosal EG (4.5% to 9% in Japan and 13% in the US) [14] presents with ascites which is usually exudative in nature, abundant peripheral eosinophilia, and has favourable responses to corticosteroids. Other documented features are cholangitis, pancreatitis, [citation needed] eosinophilic splenitis, acute appendicitis and giant refractory ...

  9. Leukocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukocytosis

    Leukocytosis can be subcategorized by the type of white blood cell that is increased in number. Leukocytosis in which neutrophils are elevated is neutrophilia; leukocytosis in which lymphocyte count is elevated is lymphocytosis; leukocytosis in which monocyte count is elevated is monocytosis; and leukocytosis in which eosinophil count is elevated is eosinophilia.
