What are the Clinical Implications of Eosinophilic Infiltration?
Eosinophilic infiltration in tissues can have various clinical implications depending on the underlying cause. For instance, in allergic reactions such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, the presence of eosinophils can lead to tissue damage and chronic inflammation. In parasitic infections, eosinophils help in killing the parasites but can also contribute to tissue injury. Chronic eosinophilic infiltration can lead to conditions like eosinophilic esophagitis, which causes symptoms such as dysphagia and food impaction.
