Eosinophilia
My mother was reported Eosinophilia in her blood test. She took Hetrazan 100 - 3 times a day and deskast once daily. This course was taken for 1 month.
In her latest blood test after taking above medication, there was no improvement is eosinophils count.
Differential count is 15%. Absolute count is 1409/cmm.
Medical history - Diabetic since 10 years under control
Asthametic- since many years but under control. Sometimes she takes Aerocort rotacaps for Asthama.
Blood pressure - betaloc 25 mg once daily.
No symptoms as Eosinophilia was detected accidentally. I looked into her past two years blood reports and noticed that she always had elevated eosinophils count.
Please suggest what is the reason and can this be brought under control. Why is it not reduces after taking hetrazan 100. Thanks.

From the history i will just outline the next steps you can do meanwhile till you see a consultant
Next Steps
do off blood tests for IgE
lung function text
Antigen for filaria test (most likely negative since she already got hetrazan)
chest Xray
since shes an asthmatic have to rule out a disease called ABPA by taking a CT chest (preferred more than Xray?

Seeing your history it's clear that eosinophilia is being treated symptomatically with knowing the cause . Need to rule out tropical infections/ worm infestation/ allergic manifestations/eosinophilic lung disease. Without addressing the problem it's like stopping fire Without cutting the fuel supply.
