Eosinophil cationic protein(ECP) values and definitions.
Medical standard: Eosinophils in the blood of women, children and men(table).
Eosinophils: They destroy the cancer cells,
and kill parasites, also help in allergic responses.
Eosinophils are white blood cells(leukocytes)
involved in allergic reactions and in defense against parasitic infestations.
All the other different blood cells(red blood cells, platelets, neutrophils,
basophils, Eosinophils and monocytes) develop from myeloid stem cells.
Eosinophils decrease in purulent processes,
sepsis, at the very beginning of the onset of inflammation, in case of poisoning with heavy metals.
Changes in the clinical picture of blood- an increase in the number of Eosinophils, changes in hepatic transaminases, increased levels of creatine phosphokinase;
In particular, chemotaxis refers to a process in which an attraction of mobile
cells(such as neutrophils, basophils, Eosinophils and lymphocytes) towards chemicals takes place.
During the test, your blood test can also be performed, in which a special type of white
blood cell is examined, which is called eosinophil.
In the submucosal layer and stroma of the villi, a profuse productive infiltrate is revealed,
in which a large number of Eosinophils, plasma cells, and histo-cytes are found.
