Eosinophil is a white blood cell containing granules that are readily stained by eosin. Parasitic diseases and allergic reactions to medication are among the more common causes of eosinophilia. Eosinophils blood (%): 0.0-6.0 (This range may vary slightly in different laboratories.) Eosinophil blood count (absolute): 30-350. The percentage of eosinophils is multiplied by the white blood cell count to give the absolute eosinophil count. This range may vary slightly in different laboratories. You have a little higher level and can be due to allergy .or infection and the treatment need to be addressed to the cause. Generally this level is not serious.
