Estudio de un caso clínico de paciente con eosinofilia

Abstract

Eosinophilia is an alteration that occurs recurrently in health care practice, as an increase in eosinophils and has its origin in various causes, especially allergic diseases, response to drugs and parasitemia. The presence of predisposing factors such as grass pollen and drugs such as penicillin are the most frequent causes for the development of this pathology. The present research work is descriptive in nature, using the deductive method, which was based on the review of scientific articles and high impact journals related to eosinophilia, which allowed establishing the relationship and interpretation of the results. The response of the immune system is very varied and depends on the antigen-antibody reaction generated by the host. Eosinophilia is provoked by several factors, particularly allergic diseases, reactions to drugs and parasitemia, being allergic reaction to penicillin and exposure to grass pollen the most frequent causes. The clinical manifestations are produced by inflammatory mediators that are released due to the increase of eosinophils in the blood. IgE production is characteristic during this stage, as well as the activation of the allergic cascade process where different cells participate, mainly mast cells, basophils, lymphocytes and eosinophils.
