| Eosinophilia mnemonic |
More causes of eosinophilia:
(I couldn't fit them in the mnemonic)
Interstitial nephropathy
Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome
Only invasive helminths produces eosinophilia.
Adult ascariasis does NOT cause eosinophilia because all they do is obstruct bowels, it’s when the invasive larvae form crosses into the lungs that causes eosinophilia.
Also, remember that protozoal infections does not produce eosinophilia.
So parasites such as pinworm (amoebiasis), giardia, and malaria do not cause eosinophilia.
That's all!
