Eosinophilia (C0014457) | |
|---|---|
| Definition (MSH) | Abnormal increase in eosinophils in the blood, tissues or organs. |
| Definition (CSP) | disordered formation of eosinophils or an abnormal accumulation or deficiency of these cells. |
| Definition (NCI) | A condition in which the number of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood is greatly increased. Eosinophilia is often a response to infection or allergens (substances that cause an allergic response). |
| Definition (NCI) | Abnormal increase in eosinophils in the blood, tissues or organs. |

eosinophil (C0014467) | |
|---|---|
| Definition (MSH) | Granular leukocytes with a nucleus that usually has two lobes connected by a slender thread of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing coarse, round granules that are uniform in size and stainable by eosin. |
| Definition (CSP) | granular leukocyte readily stained by eosin; granules are coarse, round, and uniform in size; the nucleus usually has two lobes connected by a slender thread of chromatin; these cells are thought to play a specialized role in immunity to helminth infections. |
| Definition (NCI) | A type of white blood cell. |
