Eozinofilek

Eozinophili is a condition characterized by an increased number of eosinophils in the blood. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the body's response to infection, particularly parasitic infections. An elevated count of eosinophils can be an indicator of various conditions, both allergic and non-allergic.

In general, a normal eosinophil count ranges from 0 to 400 cells per microliter of blood. When the count exceeds 500 cells per microliter, it is considered elevated. Eosinophilia can be caused by a range of factors, including parasitic infections, allergic reactions, asthma, and certain types of cancer.

Parasitic infections are a common cause of eosinophilia. Hookworms, roundworms, and other types of parasites can stimulate an immune response, leading to an increase in eosinophil count. Additionally, allergic reactions such as asthma and hay fever can also cause eosinophilia. In some cases, eosinophilia can be a symptom of an underlying condition, such as Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder.

Eozinophili can be diagnosed through a blood test that measures the number of eosinophils per microliter of blood. Treatment for eosinophilia depends on the underlying cause and can include medications such as corticosteroids and antihistamines, as well as treatments for parasitic infections. In severe cases, blood transfusions may be required to replace lost red blood cells. It is essential to seek medical attention if there are concerns about eosinophilia, as this can help ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.
