What is Eosinophilia?

Eosinophilia refers to a health condition resulting due to presence of excessive eosinophilia (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 to fight against 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.

Causes of Eosinophilia

There are a variety of disorders that can cause eosinophilia ranging from simple hay fever to life threatening tumor. Most common cause for eosinophilia are parasitic infections (such as hookworm, schistosomiasis), allergic conditions (such asthma and hay fever) and certain types of drug reactions.

Few other rarer causes include:

  • Lung diseases (e.g., Loeffler’s Syndrome)
  • Due to inflammation of blood vessels (e.g., Churg-Strauss syndrome)
  • Certain malignant tumors (e.g., lymphoma)
  • Due to certain types of antibody deficiencies
  • Certain types of skin diseases (e.g., dermatitis herpetiformis)

Eosinophilia in children is more difficult to diagnose as the range of probable causes is much wider in this case as compared to adults.

Symptoms of Eosinophilia

Symptoms of eosinophilia vary based on the underlying conditions. For example, frequent wheezing and breathlessness are symptoms typical to eosinophilia caused due to asthma. In case of eosinophilia due to parasitic infections symptoms may range between abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, cough and rashes. Frequent infections, abscesses, pneumonia, mouth sores can also be considered as indicators of eosinophilia. Few other symptoms of eosinophilia include weight loss, night sweats, enlargement of lymph nodes, skin rashes, tingling and numbness due to nerve damage, etc. These symptoms however occur rarely.
