What Could Eosinophil Count Of 19 Suggest?
Hi, my eosinophils is 19 (normal range is 0-7), and Abs eosinophils is 1.5 (normal range is 0.0-0.7). What does that mean? Should I call my doctor immediately to have another specialized health check up? if so, what type of health check up is needed? thanks. - wayne

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Increased count of eosinophil normally suggests allergy.
2. It could be secondary to any allergic manifestations, parasites, etc.
3. Not necessary to call your doctor immediately, unless you have specific symptoms like swelling anywhere, or breathing difficulty or diarrhea or worms in stools.
4. Watch out for these symptoms and repeat after a month.
5. Checking serum IgE levels could be helpful.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
