CBC / Hematology
Also known as: Eosinophil count - absolute, Absolute Eosinophils blood test, EOS Blood Test
No common urgent flag from this test alone. However, if you have severe allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, or signs of a serious infection, seek immediate medical attention.
This test counts a certain kind of white blood cell called eosinophils. These cells are part of your body's defense system. They help fight infections and allergic reactions.
Your doctor orders this test to see if you have allergies. It also checks for infections caused by parasites. This test can help find other problems with your body's defense system. Sometimes, it's just part of a regular health check.
The normal range for eosinophils can vary depending on the lab that performs the test. Your doctor will interpret your results based on the specific reference range used by their lab.
