Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eosinophilia, or an elevated level of eosinophils in the blood, can be caused by a variety of factors including parasitic infections, allergies, and autoimmune disorders. The fact that the client recently went on a mission trip to Mexico suggests that they may have been exposed to parasites, which could be a potential cause of eosinophilia. The other options do not have a clear correlation with this finding.
