Abstract:
Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia (CEL) is a rare type of chronic myeloproliferative disorder of unknown etiology with no available true incidence. The vaguely overlapping clinico - pathological picture of CEL with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) often adds to the diagnostic confusion. An evidence of genetic clonality of eosinophils or an increase in blast cells in the blood or bone marrow is mandatory for diagnosis of CEL while no specific diagnostic tests exist for IHES; making it an entity of exclusion. Till date, CEL is a rarely reported entity in India. We add yet another case of eosinophilic leukemia along with review of available literature.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
