No: The high eosinophils could go along with drug sensitivity or other allergy, or parasitic infection.

Probably not... But: You have a elevated eosinophil count. There are many other blood counts that are evaluated when considering leukemia. Most patients with leukemia will have bruising or bleeding, fatigue, headaches, fevers, enlarged lymph nodes, and bony aches and pains. Their blood count is typically abnormal: low hemoglobin, low platelets, and abnormal white cells.
