Extractions: Adult Medicine General Health Acne Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia ... Information Eosinophilia Basic Information Eosinophilia refers to a group of conditions that cause abnormally high levels of eosinophils to develop in either the blood or body tissues. An eosinophil is a kind of white blood cell. These white blood cells are manufactured in the bone marrow, and then transferred into the bloodstream and the gut lining. When the body is functioning in a normal manner, eosinophils are very beneficial. In fact, whenever the immune system recognizes that it is under attack by parasitic organisms, the body begins mass producing eosinophils in order to combat the infection. In most cases, once the parasite has been removed, the level of eosinophils in the bloodstream is allowed to return to normal. However, in some situations, the body keeps on producing eosinophils at a high rate, allowing them to accumulate in the blood and tissues. This build-up of eosinophils ultimately leads to body damage. There are many different reasons why the body increases its production of eosinophils. The most common reason is to fight off parasitic infections. However, overproduction of these white blood cells can also occur in response to allergic disease, chemical poisoning, recent blood transfusion, or exposure to nickel. Each one of these causative agents seems to be responsible for a different type of eosinophilia.

Extractions: E osinophilia-myalgia Syndrome and Cognition - 3 Abstracts [FrontPage Include Component] Pain, fatigue, and sleep in eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome: relationship to neuropsychological performance. J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci 1998 Summer;10(3):338-42 Pollina DA; Kaufman LD; Masur DM; Krupp LB Cognitive problems are frequently reported in patients with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS). This is the first study to explore, in EMS, the relationship between specific neuropsychological deficits and fatigue and pain. Relationships among depression, sleep disturbance, and neuropsychological deficits in EMS were also examined. Neither fatigue nor pain was correlated with memory impairment. Sleep disturbance was significantly correlated with verbal memory impairment, but not with deficits in visuospatial memory. These results suggest that cognitive loss in EMS cannot be attributed to pain or fatigue. Although some aspects of memory impairment may be associated with disturbed sleep, visual memory deficits are clearly independent of sleep deficits and may result from direct effects of the disease on the central nervous system.

Extractions: Signs, symptoms and indicators Contributing risk factors Recommendations An eosinophil is a type of white blood cell produced in the bone marrow and is normally found in the bloodstream and the gut lining. They contain proteins that help the body to fight infection from parasitic organisms, such as worms. But in certain diseases these proteins can damage the body. The term eosinophilia refers to conditions in which abnormally high amounts of eosinophils are found in either the blood or in body tissues. Eosinophilia occurs in a wide range of conditions. In modern countries, its commonest causes are allergic diseases such as asthma and hay fever , whereas worldwide the main cause is parasitic infection. It can also occur in relation to common skin diseases and drug reactions. Other rarer causes include: lung diseases, eg Loeffler's syndrome, vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels), eg Churg-Strauss syndrome, some tumors, e.g. lymphoma , liver cirrhosis , some antibody deficiencies (not typically AIDS ), other rarer skin diseases, eg

These vary the abnormality may appear in one part of the lung at one time, but the next X-ray may show no pathology or a problem in a different part of the lung. The abnormal X-rays are accompanied by a rise in the number of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell which is probably involved in allergies) in the blood. The disease is usually self-limited so it often resolves itself without treatment. Loeffler's syndrome appears to be caused by an allergic reaction. A common cause is the migration of the parasitic worm Ascaris lumbricoides through the respiratory tract. Proteins on the surface of the worm probably incite this allergic reaction. Other parasites of the Ascaris family may also cause the syndrome. Additional possible causes include allergies to medications, for example, sulfonamide antibiotics.

The lesions started insidiously with no tendency for spontaneous resolution. Previously, she had been treated with excisions, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, electrodesiccation, and intralesional glucocorticoids, all of which provided temporary improvement but no lasting benefits. Moreover, the use of 585-nm, pulsed-dye laser treatment to several lesions was associated with resolution with recurrence after one month. Most recently, she underwent 12 sessions of radiation therapy, which led to a remission that lasted approximately six months. Since her most recent recurrence, she has been using topical medium-potency glucocorticoids, doxepin cream, and topical anesthetics to achieve variable and brief symptomatic improvement.
