What Causes Elevated Eosinophil Count And Fever?
My GI diagnosed me with IBS in April. However, everytime I experience an "Attack" a fever is always associated with it. Last night I had a fever of 102 along with my attack. I am suffering severe joint and muscle pain which is also not associated with IBS. I am mostly concerned because while I going through the diagnostic process with my GI for the month of March, repeated blood tests shown my eosinophil levels were elevated. And I have been dealing with these on and off again fevers. I spoke with my GI today and they did not offer much help. I know my primary care physician is not going to be of much help either. What do I do? What is with the repeated fevers?

Hello,
The elevated eosinophil count could be a sign of parasite infection. Please have one of your doctor do a stool culture and an ova and parasite panel to make sure that this is not the cause.
