Absolute Eosinophil Count
What does Absolute Eosinophil Count measure?
The Absolute Eosinophil Count measures the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in the blood. Eosinophils are involved in immune responses, including those related to allergies and certain infections. This test may be used to help evaluate symptoms such as persistent allergy-like reactions, asthma-related inflammation, skin rashes, or suspected parasitic infections. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
