A member asked:
I have mild neutropenia (1.5) with eosinophilia. my gp thinks the eos-from allergy-suppress the neutr. is there a way to lower eos without cortisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Despite college textbooks, common allergies seldom raise the eosinophil count. I trust there has been a check for helminths. If the eos are over 1000 or you have anything to suggest Churg-Strauss or Hodgkin's, a workup / consult is in order. Stable mild neutropenia like yours is usually "just you" and harmless; your neuts may simply hang on vessel walls better.
