Overview

Eosinophilia is a laboratory finding rather than a diagnosis, and can arise from different pathologic processes. Causes of eosinophilia fall into three general groups: primary eosinophilia (caused by a proliferative neoplasm in the bone marrow), reactive eosinophilia (another disease process creates high levels of cytokines that induce the bone marrow to produce eosinophils), and idiopathic.
