Without context, there’s no concern here. Eosinophils are related to allergies/hay fever… do you have allergies lately?

Of course a single number off a full blood count should never be analyzed in isolation. So take my reply with a grain of salt and use your judgement.

If helpful, here is a quick list of white blood cells and what they mean when elevated so you can evaluate your eosinophils in broader context. But again - a single eosinophil number doesn’t tell us much alone.

Neutrophils: bacterial and fungal

Lymphocytes: virus and cancer

Monocytes: chronic infections and autoimmune disease

Eosinophils: parasites and allergies

Basophils: chronic inflammation and allergies

Last time mine were checked I had a result of 0.43 x10^9/L [0.04 - 0.4], slightly above the reference range. No comment from GP but I found out: urgent referral if > 10; routine referral > 1.5.

Although increasing, your count is within the reference range. Even if the count is high, it may not be of concern, as explained, here: my.clevelandclinic.org/heal...
