Hi,
Your absolute lymphocyte count is just above the normal range. I am not worried about it.
But your eosinophil count is significantly increased. Reasons for eosinophilia enclude intestinal worms, allergic reactions, certain drugs, skin problems and autoimmune diseases. There are several other causes for increased eosinophil counts which are extremely rare. When absolute count is more than 1500/cmm, it may lead to damage to organs such as heart and lungs. Only in such situations, to prevent end organ organ damage eosinophilia is treated with steroids.
Otherwise always one has to identify the cause of eosinophlia with the help of other investigations and try to treat the cause. Once the cause gets eliminated, eosinophilia automatically subsides.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
With regards,
Dr. Girish Kamat
