- Eosinophilia is known to have many causes, the most common of which are helminthic (worm) infections and allergic conditions, such as asthma and hay fever.
- Quantitative immunohistochemistry confirmed that eosinophilia is a component of the mdx dystrophy.
- For example, corticosteroids worsen infections such as M tuberculosis or strongyloidiasis, and therefore they should not be used in the rare patients in whom pulmonary eosinophilia is secondary to such an infection.
