what does low abs eosinophils mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: I would draw no conclusion whatsoever from a random finding of an eosinophil count below the reference range.

Accepted Answer

Usually nothing: A bit of stress will drive them down, or if it's a small-sample count, there just didn't happen to be one among the first hundred or few hundred counted. You can drive yourself crazy reading the differential diagnosis for numbers -- but this isn't your warning of incipient cushing's if you feel well. Most labs mean little in the absence of symptoms and signs.
