Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) is a blood test that measures the number of eosinophils in your body. Eosinophils are a type of disease-fighting white blood cells (WBC) that become active in case of an infection, allergic disease, and drug reaction. Eosinophils levels beyond normal can be indicative of an autoimmune disease, seasonal allergies, asthma, and parasitic infections. An abnormally low eosinophil count can be the result of intoxication from alcohol or excessive production of cortisol. The low levels of eosinophils are generally not a concern.
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that plays a role in the immune response, particularly in allergic reactions and parasitic infections.
Elevated levels of eosinophils, known as eosinophilia, may indicate various underlying conditions, including allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, certain infections, drug reactions, and some types of cancers. Eosinophilia may also occur in response to certain medications or due to genetic factors.
Low levels of eosinophils do not usually pose significant health concerns, though they may occasionally indicate certain conditions such as immunodeficiency disorders.
The Total Eosinophil Count is typically reported as the number of eosinophils per microliter of blood (cells/µL). The reference range for eosinophil counts can vary depending on the laboratory and individual factors, such as age, health condition, and medications.
Interpretation of Total Eosinophil Count should be done in conjunction with other clinical findings and medical history. Further diagnostic tests may be required to determine the cause of eosinophilia, as it is often a symptom of an underlying condition. Consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary for proper interpretation of the Total Eosinophil Count results and guidance on further evaluation and management, if needed.
