Hi Natty91.

Eosinophil and basophil counts are a little low. This can be caused by drug reaction, infection, inflammation or injury (amongst other things). However, numbers of these in the blood are usually low and one or an occasional low readings are not thought to be medically significant.

If this were significant, you could expect abnormal readings elsewhere in the FBC but everything else looks okay.

Yay, thats good to hear. What do you mean by drug reaction?

[Foggyme Administrator in reply to Natty91]

Hi Natty91. Just mean that some medications can cause slight changes to blood chemistry (in this case, might lower the eosinophil and basophil count).

Nothing to worry about - and your GP should be aware if you are taking prescribed medicines that would cause this).

And the counts are not low enough to worry about - especially as everything else is normal.
