Description
The Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) is a specific blood test that measures the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in a blood sample. Eosinophils play a crucial role in the body’s immune response, particularly against parasites and in allergic reactions. Elevated levels can indicate conditions such as allergies, asthma, certain parasitic infections, or eosinophilic disorders. Conversely, low levels may suggest certain immune deficiencies or the use of corticosteroids. This test is valuable for diagnosing and monitoring a range of conditions, including hypereosinophilic syndrome and drug reactions.
