Pediatric White Cell Disorders

Eosinophilia

Eosinophilia is not a disease; rather, it refers to an especially high number of eosinophil cells in the blood. In a child, increased eosinophil levels is a normal response to allergens, infections and other substances foreign to the body's immune system. Eosinophilia may not require treatment.
