What a high Eosinophils means, and common causes

More eosinophils than usual, which in India most often points to allergy or a parasitic worm infestation.

Common causes: Allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema and drug allergy, intestinal worms, and less commonly autoimmune disease or an eosinophilic disorder.

What a low Eosinophils means, and common causes

A low eosinophil count, which is rarely significant on its own.

Common causes: Acute infection or stress, steroid medicines, and Cushing's syndrome.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 1 to 6 percent of white cells, or under 500 per microlitre in absolute terms.

It can, and deworming is a common first step in India when the count is mildly raised. Allergy is just as frequent a cause, so the doctor will ask about sneezing, rashes and asthma.

Yes. Allergic rhinitis, asthma and eczema are among the commonest reasons for a mildly raised count.

Doctor se milein. Allergy ya pet ke keede sabse aam kaaran hain, aur dono ka ilaaj alag hota hai.
