Elevated Eosinophils and Neutrophils

[Dolansan]

Hello PA community!

Recently I’ve had a CBC show elevated eosinophils and neutrophils. I’ve been injecting with hydroxocobalamin 1000 mcg once a week (few months back every other day). My question is if there may be correlation between b12 deficiency or treatment that may affect white blood cells?

I’ve also been on antibiotic treatment for a UTI infection around the same time frame.

Thanks everyone!

white blood cells are the cells produced to fight infection, so raised count more likely to do with the infection than B12.

Hiya, I think it's very likely that the infection is the cause, not the injections

Neutrophils are white cells that fight bacteria/fungi and eosinophils fight mostly parasites and are present in some cancers. Nothing to do with hydroxycobalamin

Your elevated neutrophils and eosinophils are not just associated with infection. Elevated eosinophils could be due to asthma while elevated neutrophils are associated with severe asthma exacerbations. Your elevated levels AND your b-12 deficiency are more likely related to autoimmune disorders than infection. Might wanna check out your thyroid, and possibly mass cell activation syndrome.

PS, MCAS patients deal with frequent urination and complications with UTI's
