Hi Doctor, My name is Faizan, and I have been suffering from recurring boil skin infections for the past month. I recently got my blood tests done at Infedis Diagnostic Center, and the findings are: WBC Count: 26,600 /cumm (high) Hemoglobin: 14.1 gm/dl (normal) Lymphocytes: 16 percent (low) Eosinophils: 40 percent (high) ESR: 18 mm/hour (high) Urine Test: Normal, no sugar detected Could you please guide me on what these results indicate and suggest the best type of doctor or specialist I should consult for proper treatment? Thanks and Regards, Faizan Shaikh

High WBC and eosinophils indicate infection plus allergic/parasitic cause. A dermatologist and physician should co-manage. Stool test and absolute eosinophil count required.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a ABSOLUTE EOSINOPHIL COUNT (AEC) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

View allI recently did a complete health check up and as per my blood report, all tests are within the normal range except for eosinophil count, which is 11.6. Please advise if this is normal or if it requires any further tests or medication? Thanks, Vidya.

I recently took a blood test package on my own, and I found that one of the test results was not normal. The EOSINOPHILS ABSOLUTE COUNT is 0.84, and the EOSINOPHILS percentage is 10.8. Could you please advise on the significance of these results and their possible impact?

I am a 29 year old male suffering from allergic rhinitis and asthma. Around three months ago, I developed severe breathlessness and underwent a chest X ray, blood test, and PFT test. The chest X ray was normal. My FEV1/FVC ratio was 81 percent, and my FEV1 was 71 percent. My blood report was also normal except for an elevated eosinophil count of 440. For the past 2.5 months, I have been using Seroflo 250/25 (4 puffs daily) and Rhine M nasal spray regularly. While I am no longer experiencing severe breathlessness, I still have some breathing discomfort, especially when lifting weights as low as 10 kg or when climbing stairs quickly. I would like to know whether I need a stronger medication or if there is an alternative treatment that might be more effective.
