Eosinophilia is characterized by an increased number of eosinophils in the blood, which can occur due to various factors such as allergic reactions, parasitic infections, and certain autoimmune diseases. When the body encounters allergens or pathogens, it triggers an immune response that stimulates the production and release of eosinophils from the bone marrow. Additionally, inflammatory cytokines like IL-5 play a crucial role in promoting eosinophil proliferation and survival. This increase in eosinophils is part of the body's effort to combat perceived threats or manage inflammation.

An eosinophil count is a measure of the number of a specific type of white blood cell. A high count can mean an acute allergic reaction to a substance, early stages of Cushing disease, parasitical infection, or rarely, acute hypereosinophilic syndrome. The eosinophil count can be artificially raised by taking psyllium based laxatives, certain antibiotics, amphetamines, tranquilizers or interferon.
What do you think happens to the number of white blood cells when a person is fighting an infection?
In the early stages of an infection, most of the increase in WBCs is attributable to the increase in neutrophils. As the infection continues, lymphocytes increase. Worm infections can trigger an increase in eosinophils, whereas allergic conditions, such as hay fever, trigger an increase in basophils.
