0 an abnormal increase in the number of eosinophils (= a type of white blood cells) in the blood:
Eosinophilia is usually due to infection by parasites such as roundworms.
Equivocal titres alone (where eosinophilia was not measured) have been implicated as representing infections that have not been completely eliminated [23-25].
This stage is characterized by significant digestive disturbances and general symptoms associated with marked eosinophilia.
All six participants who had intestinal parasite infections detected on faecal microscopy had eosinophilia.
Consistent results were noted in the pathological observations, including eosinophilia, leukocyte infiltration, granulomatous reactions, and time responses in the brain tissues of infected mice.
In the eosinophilia arm, subjects are allocated to receive treatment or no treatment by infection status using the prevalence, sensitivity, and specificity of the test.
However, other series have shown discrepancies between cases who had eosinophilia and those who had serological evidence of trichinellosis [1].
The experiment was continued for 10 weeks and peripheral blood eosinophilia was also determined.
The chronic eosinophilia may be due to the prolonged larval migration seen in these hosts.
