There are up to 40 eosinophils / 0.2376 mm*mm (field area at 400X). This is a non-specific finding. The differential diagnosis includes inflammatory bowel disease, infection (especially helminths), drug reaction, autoimmune disorders (e.g. Churg-Strauss syndrome, celiac disease, scleroderma). Clinical correlation is required. | |||
