Based on their causes, hypereosinophilias can be sorted into subtypes. However, cases of eosinophilia, which exhibit eosinophil counts between 500 and 1,500/μL, may fit the clinical criteria for, and thus be regarded as falling into, one of these hypereosinophilia categories: the cutoff of 1,500/μL between hypereosinophilia and eosinophilia is somewhat arbitrary.

It is also known as atrophic myositis or eosinophilic myositis. MMM is the most common inflammatory myopathy in dogs. [1] The disease mainly affects large breed dogs. [2] German Shepherd Dogs [3] and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels may be predisposed. [4] There is a similar disease of the eye muscles found in Golden Retrievers. Symptoms of acute ...
It is unknown if eosinophils contribute directly to clearing pathogens in sepsis or if their absence is only an indicator that the immune system is dysregulated. [5] The causative role of eosinopenia to poor survival in sepsis, if it exists, has yet to be established. [5] The use of eosinopenia as a diagnostic tool in sepsis is debatable. [10]
Human eosinophilic granuloma is characterized by abnormal proliferation of Langerhans cells (LCs). LCs are antigen-presenting cells derived from dendritic cells. In humans, eosinophilic granulomas are considered as a benign tumors that occurs mainly in children and adolescents. EG is a quite rare condition, and its incidence is higher in white ...
Eosinophilic cellulitis, also known as Wells' syndrome (not to be confused with Weil's disease), is a skin disease that presents with painful, red, raised, and warm patches of skin. [2] The rash comes on suddenly, lasts for a few weeks, and often repeatedly comes back. [ 2 ]
Clonal hypereosinophilia, also termed primary hypereosinophilia or clonal eosinophilia, is a grouping of hematological disorders all of which are characterized by the development and growth of a pre-malignant or malignant population of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell that occupies the bone marrow, blood, and other tissues.
The diagnosis of familial eosinophilia rest upon a) familial clustering of the disorder; b) exclusion of "family acquired eosinophilia" (i.e. eosinophilia due to chronic parasite or other infestations that afflict multiple members of a family); c) lack of eosinophil-induced tissue destruction such as that which occurs in the hypereosinophilic ...
