Eosinophilic Disorders
Eosinophilic disorders are a group of conditions characterized by an elevated number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell involved in the body's immune response. These disorders can affect various organs, including the skin, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms such as inflammation, pain, and allergic reactions.
The exact cause of eosinophilic disorders is often unclear, but they can be triggered by allergies, infections, or certain medications. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and imaging studies to assess eosinophil levels and organ involvement, guiding appropriate treatment options to manage symptoms and reduce eosinophil counts.
