eosinophils

Examples of eosinophils in the following topics:

• Cystitis

  • Eosinophilic cystitis (EC) is a rare form of cystitis that is diagnosed via biopsy.
  • In these cases, the bladder wall is infiltrated with a high number of eosinophils.
  • Differentiate among the distinct types of cystitis: traumatic, interstitial, eosinophilic, hemorrhagic cystitis, and cystitis cystica, recognizing their causes and risk factors

• Distribution and Importance of Parasitic Worms

  • The study demonstrates that immune system cells, eosinophils, that are present in fat tissue play a role in the prevention of insulin resistance via secretion of interleukin 4.
  • The study showed that parasitic worm infection results in an increase in eosinophils, thus, promoting control of glucose maintenance .

• Cells and Organs of the Immune System

  • The innate leukocytes include the phagocytes, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and natural killer cells.
  • Basophils and eosinophils are related to neutrophils.

• Type III (Immune Complex) Reactions

  • As observed under methods of histopathology, acute necrotizing vasculitis within the affected tissues is observed concomitant to neutrophilic infiltration, along with notable eosinophilic deposition (fibrinoid necrosis).

• Pneumocystis Pneumonia

  • A lung biopsy would show thickened alveolar septa with fluffy eosinophilic exudate in the alveoli.
