Formation of large numbers of eosinophilic leukocytes caused by some type of immune response; usually found in helminth infections, particularly with tissue invasion (visceral larva migrans, trichinosis, filariasis, schistosomiasis, ascariasis, strongyloidiasis).
increase in white blood cells
A relative or absolute leukocytosis in which the main increase is in eosinophils.
increased level of eosinophils in the blood or other tissues.
An abnormally high number of eosinophils in the blood. Eosinophils are a type of polymorphonuclear leukocyte containing eosin-staining granules and constitute 1 to 3% of peripheral blood leukocytes (white blood cells).
An increase in the number of eosinophils in the blood in response to infection or allergens.
a symptom of allergic states; increased eosinophils in the blood
a characteristic in patients with allergic skin disease e
Accumulation of abnormally large numbers of white blood cells (eosinophils) in the blood.
Increased numbers of eosinophils in the blood.
A condition in which there are more than the usual number of eosinophils in the circulating blood.
The formation and accumulation of an abnormally large number of eosinophils in the blood. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that helps to destroy infectious agents. Increased numbers are seen in allergy and parasitic infection.
Eosinophilia is the state of having high eosinophil granulocytes in the blood. The reference range is between 0 and 0.5 x 109 eosinophils per litre of blood.
