Eosinophilia
Eosinophilia is a
chronic disorder resulting from excessive production of a
particular type of white blood cells. If diagnosed in time and
treated in a proper fashion this disorder is curable in most
cases and affected persons can lead normal life. Eosinophilia
refers to a health condition resulting due to presence of
excessive eosinophils (type of white blood cell) in blood or
body tissues. Eosinophils are produced in the bone marrow
existing normally in the bloodstream and gut lining, which helps
the body fight infection from parasitic organisms. On an average
around 5% to 7% of white blood cells constitute eosinophils but
if you have a higher count then it means that you either have
borderline eosinophilia or actual progressing eosinophilia that
can cause significant health hazards.
Symptoms
Most common cause for eosinophilia are
parasitic infections (such as hookworm, schistosomiasis),
allergic conditions (such asthma and hey fever) and certain
types of drug reactions. Few other rarer causes include:
- Lung diseases
- Due to inflammation of blood vessels
- Certain malignant tumors
- Due to certain types of antibody deficiencies
- Certain types of skin diseases
Eosinophilia in children is more difficult to diagnose as the
range of probable causes is much wider in this case compared
to adults.
