Summary
This review defines eosinophilia and classifies it by eosinophil count. It explores causes in HIV-negative, HIV-positive, and travelers, offering diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for eosinophilic disorders.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Immunology
- Infectious Diseases
Context:
- Eosinophilia, an elevation in eosinophils, presents diverse etiological factors.
- Understanding these factors is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
- Classification aids in differentiating causes, from autochthonous to imported cases.
Purpose:
- To define and classify eosinophilia based on eosinophil counts.
- To delineate etiological factors in distinct patient groups: HIV-negative, HIV-positive, and travelers.
- To present a diagnostic algorithm and review therapeutic options for eosinophilic conditions.
Summary:
- The paper reviews eosinophilia definitions and classifications.
- It details etiological factors across autochthonous non-HIV-infected, HIV-infected, and imported eosinophilia cases.
- A diagnostic algorithm and therapeutic strategies, including antihelminthic therapies and hypereosinophilic syndrome management, are discussed.
Impact:
- Provides a comprehensive overview for clinicians managing eosinophilia.
- Facilitates accurate diagnosis through a structured approach.
- Informs treatment strategies for various eosinophilic disorders, including rare syndromes.
