What Causes Elevated Level Of Eosinophil In Blood?
A recent blood test showed having abnormally high level of EOSINOPHILS, ABSOLUTE. My level was 737 in a range that should be between 15-500. I ve seen a hematologist who has taken blood samples to determine cause. I have a rash and itching allover my body, particularly in the hands/arms/feet/ankles. He has indicated that a bone marrow sample may be necessary. Any idea what may be the cause?
