Eosinophils

[psm896]

I have been getting high eosinophil  counts for a few years now. I went through a barrage of allergy tests that only showed minor results for some tree and grass allergens. My latest tests drawn on 3/20/2013 shows a value of 19.4 %. What further tests might you think are appropriate?

Hi!
High eosinophils are found in parasitic infections, asthma, or allergic reactions, and tropical eosinophilia. Hence, it is important to get a stool test. Tropical eosinophilia is unlikely unless you live in the tropical belt.
Hope this helps. Take care!
