Background
- Any eosinophil count over 0.5
- May be primary (either eosinophilic hematologic malignancy or idiopathic) or secondary/reactive
Differential Diagnosis
- Hematologic
- Primary: eosinophilic leukemia, CMML, hypereosinophilic syndrome
- Secondary: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma
- Infectious
- Parasitic infections including Strongyloides stercoralis, hookworms, schistosomiasis, and scabies
- Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia from filarial roundworms (Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia)
- Can also be seen with other helminths, HIV, HTLV, Borrelia, and Aspergillus
- Inflammatory
- Endocrine
- Allergy
Investigations
- CBC
- Stool for ova and parasites (specifically for helminths rather than protozoa)
- Strongyloides serology, +/- Schistosoma serology
- ANCAs
- Review current medications
