Is There Any Correlation Between Low Eosinophil Count And Frequent Allergies?

I have been dealing with an allergic reaction (swelling of the face, very itchy welts about my body). I have been to the er for swelling in my throat. This has been going on for three yrs & 3 Drs later I still don t know what I am allergic to. I had blood work done AGAIN last week. I just received a call from my Drs office that the count for eosinophil is 0. Do you think there is a connection between this & the allergic reactions I am having?

Hello,

An absolute eosinophil count is a blood test that measures the number of white blood cells called eosinophils.

Eosinophils become active when you have certain allergic diseases.

So there is a great correlation between the allergies and eosinophils level.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
