Your immune system’s ability to fight off infections and manage allergic reactions largely depends on eosinophils, a specific type of white blood cell. The
Absolute Eosinophil Count test measures the concentration of these cells in your blood, helping doctors identify conditions such as allergies, asthma, and parasitic infections. High levels of eosinophils can indicate that your body is reacting to an allergen or an infection, or that you might have an underlying autoimmune condition. Early detection through this test can lead to more effective treatment and prevent complications. Whether it’s for diagnosing asthma, managing seasonal allergies, or detecting parasitic infections, this test provides critical information about your immune system’s health.
