eosinophilia. The term eosinophilia refers to conditions in which abnormally high amounts of eosinophils are found in either the blood or in body tissues.

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

Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Eosinophilia is the state of having high eosinophil granulocytes Eosinophils are white blood cells that are responsible for combating infection by parasites in the body. These cells, transparent in vivo , appear brick-red when stained by the Romanowsky method. The red colour is visible as small granules within the cell. These granules contain histamine and other chemicals that are toxic to both parasites and the host's tissues. Eosinophils also play a role in the allergic response, and in fibrin removal in inflammation.

Medical terms related to blood often begin in hemo- or hemato- (BE: haemo- and haemato- ) from the Greek word for "blood". There are differences in blood between species. Human blood is a liquid tissue; its major function is to transport oxygen necessary to life throughout the body. It also supplies the tissues with nutrients, removes waste products, and contains various components of the immune system defending the body against infection. Endocrine hormones also travel in the blood. (see List of human blood components)

The disease usually clears up without treatment.

Extractions: They accumulate wherever allergic reactions like those in asthma take place. Their natural role is to defend us against parasites. In fact allergies such as asthma are probably a malfunction of our protective mechanism against parasites. Diagram of eosinophil as seen under the microscope after staining a blood smear with the red dye eosin, which stains the granules in the cytoplasm and with haematoxylin, which stains the nucleus blue. In the body all these things are colourless, of course. The nucleus consists of two lobes. The red-stained granules contain toxic proteins, ready for secretion from the cell. The toxins from the granules are important for killing parasites, but in asthma they are released inappropriately and damage the lining of the air passages. It is one of the objectives of asthma treatment to stop eosinophils from accumulating in your lungs and to stop those already there from causing damage. Steroid inhalers have a key role in doing this.

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome is an incurable and sometimes fatal flu-like neurological condition that was caused by contaminated l-tryptophan supplements. In 1989 an outbreak of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome was traced to an improperly prepared batch of tryptophan. The bacterial culture used to synthesise tryptophan had recently been genetically engineered to increase tryptophan production: unfortunately, with the higher tryptophan concentration in the culture medium, the purification process had also been modified to reduce costs, and a purification step that used charcoal adsorption to remove impurities had been omitted. This allowed another bacterial metabolite through the purification, and this contaminant of the end-product had been responsible for the toxic effects. Regardless of the origin of the toxicity, tryptophan was banned from sale in the US, and other countries followed suit. Tryptophan remains banned from sale to the public.

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Eosinophilia is the state of having too many eosinophils in the blood. Eosinophils are increased in parasitic infections, allergic disorders and in some drug reactions. They are also produced in excess in some forms of chronic myeloid leukaemia. The release of interleukin-5 by T cells, mast cells and macrophages stimulates the production of eosinophils.

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.
