Get it done from a different Laboratory.
If it is the same you should take a deworming treatment.
For further management please consult with a General Physician because a logical reasoning is required before you start the next line of treatment.

Dear Patient,
An eosinophil level of 15% is higher than the normal range (which is typically 1-6%). Elevated eosinophils (eosinophilia) can be a sign of several underlying conditions, but whether or not it's a cause for concern depends on the context.
Possible Causes of Elevated Eosinophils:
Allergies: Commonly caused by allergies (e.g., asthma, hay fever, or skin allergies).
Parasitic Infections: Certain parasitic infections can elevate eosinophil levels.
Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like vasculitis or rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to high eosinophils.
Medications: Some medications can cause a temporary increase in eosinophils.
Chronic Infections: Some infections, particularly chronic ones, can lead to elevated levels.
Next Steps
Track symptoms: Are you experiencing any respiratory symptoms, skin rashes, or gastrointestinal issues? These can help pinpoint the cause. Consult a doctor: It's important to get a full evaluation, including a detailed history and possibly further tests, to identify the root cause. If you canât visit a doctor in person, consider using telehealth platforms like Practo to consult a specialist for further evaluation. It's not necessarily alarming but does require further investigation to determine the underlying cause. Let me know if you need more assistance!

Yes you should be concerned but do not worry. Eosinophils can be raised in different conditions like allergies, parasitic diseases, connective tissue disorders, eosinophilic lung diseases, etc.
Next Steps
provide detailed history to evaluate the cause of your raised eosinophils and to come to a provisional diagnosis atleast, based on which further action can be taken

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the body's immune response, particularly in combating allergens and parasitic infections. A level of 15% is significantly elevated, especially when the normal range is considered to be up to 6%.
Elevated eosinophils can indicate various conditions, including allergies, asthma, certain infections, and autoimmune diseases. It may also be associated with some chronic inflammatory conditions. Therefore, it’s essential to evaluate this increase further, especially if you are experiencing any symptoms such as itching, rashes, respiratory issues, or gastrointestinal problems.
I recommend consulting a specialist for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause of the elevated eosinophil count. A thorough history, physical examination, and possibly further tests may be necessary to provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
For better evaluation and treatment options, please feel free to consult me directly or reach out via WhatsApp at eight hundred ninety-eight two one three three two.
