Abstract

Eosinophils in Rare Diseases: Key Characteristics and Clinical Implications

Michelle Xiao

Eosinophils are a specialized type of white blood cell belonging to the granulocyte family, playing crucial roles in the immune system, particularly in responses to parasitic infections and allergic reactions. These cells account for approximately 1%-4%of the total circulating white blood cells in healthy individuals. Despite their relatively low abundance, eosinophils possess unique functions that significantly impact both immune defence and tissue homeostasis.
