Eosinophils are included in the white blood cell count; their normal value is 1-5%. They play a key role in neutralizing and destroying foreign cells (parasites, protists, bacteria) circulating in the blood and in tissues. This occurs through the production of special receptors that bind to immunoglobulin E, forming a cytotoxic (cell-destroying) complex.
EO activation occurs both independently and after the absorption of mediators released by basophils. Due to the large accumulation of IgE in the area of eosinophil concentration, an allergic reaction such as anaphylactic shock may develop.
Considering the main functions of EO, an increase in their number can be observed in:
