Description
Number of Tests Included:
Single blood test measuring eosinophil count.
What is an Absolute Eosinophil Count Test?
A hematology test that measures the exact number of eosinophils per microliter of blood, helping detect immune and allergic conditions.
Purpose of the Test:
-
Diagnose allergic disorders (asthma, rhinitis, eczema)
-
Detect parasitic infections
-
Identify autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
-
Evaluate unexplained cough, breathing issues, or skin rashes
-
Monitor treatment in eosinophilia
Who Should Get This Test?
-
Individuals with chronic allergies or asthma
-
People with skin rashes, itching, or eczema
-
Patients with suspected parasitic infections
-
Individuals with persistent cough or breathing problems
-
Routine evaluation when CBC shows high eosinophils
Components of the Test:
-
Absolute Eosinophil Count (cells/µL)
-
Sometimes includes percentage eosinophils from differential count
Understanding the Test Report:
-
Normal AEC: 30–350 cells/µL
-
Mild Eosinophilia: 350–1500 cells/µL
-
Moderate Eosinophilia: 1500–5000 cells/µL
-
Severe Eosinophilia: >5000 cells/µL
High values may indicate allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, or blood disorders.
Preparation and Procedure:
-
Routine blood sample
-
No special preparation required
How is the Test Done?
A blood sample is analyzed using an automated hematology analyzer, which calculates the absolute eosinophil count.
