A white blood cell that contains granules filled with a specific set of chemicals and enzymes that influence inflammatory reactions They are increased in several classes of disease including allergic diseases
An eosinophil is a variety of white blood cell distinguished by the presence in its cytoplasm of coarse granules; its function is poorly understood, but it is known to be capable of ingesting foreign particles, is present in large numbers in lining or covering surfaces of the body, and is involved in allergic responses
A type of white blood cell whose major useful role seems to be in protecting against parasitic infections It is also associated, however, with the inflammation that is at the root of asthma People with asthma tend to have more eosinophils in their blood and, in addition, have an unusual number of eosinophils "migrate" into their lungs It is still not entirely clear whether eosinophils cause some of the problems that asthmatics experience, or whether they are just associated with the process without doing damage themselves
An inflammatory cell in the blood that is attracted to the site of allergic reactions and participates in allergic inflammation Hay Fever - allergic rhinitis
A white cell of the category known as granulocytes These cells contain numerous dense granules in their cytoplasm that comprise a battery of highly active digestive chemicals and toxins Their chief role is thought to be in combatting large parasites, although occasionally their activity may be triggered by other agents, potentially leading to damage of normal tissues (see eosinophilia myalgia syndrome)
