Eosinophils have a role in the protective immunity against certain parasites and respond to infections caused by parasites. Eosinophils also contribute to the inflammation that occurs in allergic disorders (hypersensitivities), and control the extent of immune responses and inflammation.
Certain types of medications can cause eosinophils to be too high. Increases in eosinophils are also seen in response to collagen vascular disorders. Another condition that can cause a rise in eosinophils is sarcoidosis. Loffler's syndrome can also cause an increase in eosinophils.
High levels of Eosinophils or high eosinophils counts in the blood is also known as Eosinophilia. This level ranges between 500 to 1500 per microliter of blood.
Increased levels of eosinophils can also occur when individuals have a variety of allergic reactions including atopic eczema, hay fever, lactose intolerance, and gluten sensitivity which causes increased levels of eosinophils in the bowel.
