A patient with a high eosinophil blood count most probably

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high eosinophil blood count is often associated with parasitic worm invasions as they trigger an immune response that results in the release of eosinophils. Allergic reactions can also cause a high eosinophil count, but it is not true that not having an allergic reaction causes a high eosinophil count. Spherocytosis is a condition characterized by abnormal red blood cells and does not affect eosinophil count. A high eosinophil count is unrelated to erythrocyte count.
