Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello,I am 25 years old currently working but besides work i have a very inactive life. My eosinophil count in the blood was 1 when i had got severe fever in Jan this year sometime back in March i had got a routine check done and the eosinophil count was 8 and last when i had a severe stomach infection due eating stale popcorn at the theatre i had got my blood tested this time my eosinophil count was 13. According to the report the safe range is 1-6, does this mean i have something to worry?

Hello, Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that eosinophil in our body is specially designed for attack on parasite and allergy. So its elevated levels of eosinophil is suggesting of either parasite infection or allergy. I suspect there must be parasitic infection in you which is causing you such a high level of eosinophil. Kindly consult nearby doctor that will help you to diagnose the condition and so further management can be possible.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious disease specialist. Wish you a best health at health care magic.
