Eosinophil levels which are one type of white blood cells can be an indicator of the presence or absence of health problems in a person's body.
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell in addition to four other types, which have important functions for the immune system. The five types of white blood cells are produced by the bone marrow, namely eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and basophils. Each type of blood cell will be affected in different ways each time a person experiences certain diseases or health problems.
Eosinophils work to protect the body in two main ways:
- Eradicate parasites, viruses, and bacteria, and create an inflammatory response that helps control the immune response, especially against allergies.
- Important role in inflammation associated with asthma and allergies. Allergy itself is a response to the immune system that involves chronic inflammation. However, sometimes inflammation can occur excessively, causing tissue damage.
