Buster Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 In another thread there were some discussions regarding allergies... Did anyone in their blood work while checking for Igg or other stuff have high eosinophils? Buster
mom md Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 My son's IgE levels were around 280 which is very elevated. He does have severe allergies to just about everything in the environment.
Debbie1 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 My non-PANDAS child had high eosinophils (and very high strep titers). The others were not tested.
ShaesMom Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 In another thread there were some discussions regarding allergies... Did anyone in their blood work while checking for Igg or other stuff have high eosinophils? Buster My daughter's high eosinophils were not found in blood work but rather in biopsies on her esophagus, tummy & colon from the endoscope & colonoscopy. She has been dx'd with EE in addition to every thing else. From my understanding, typically eosinophilic cells are not related to IGE so the fact that they were able to find 9 additional food allergies through the skin & blood testing is quite unusal. She may have additional allergies that are not IGE mediated. Only another endoscope & colonoscopy will tell us if there are still eosinophilic cells in her GI tract.
faith Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 I am not aware of my son having high allergies, he does not show traditional symptoms and environmental testing only showed a couple of things mild to moderate. I have some copies of some various blood work done on him in the past few years and all are showing eosinophils as in range. Faith
dut Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Hello. Our d who was, until age 3, milk allergic and still is cashew and pistachio allergic, had high nasal eosiniphils. We were told this indicated a higher chance of asthma later in life. I've assumed, probably erroneously :-) that the nasal elevations are due to allergic reactions to airbornes that are too low to be picked up by normal allergy testing at this point but that maybe chronically poke the immune system...?
pixiesdaddy Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Pixie's were normal (just tested last week, so we are still in the range where IVIG *could* affect it, I suppose.) Her lymphocytes are still disproportionately high.
Stephanie2 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 My non-pandas son (20 months) had very high eosinophils in his comprehensive diagnostic stool analysis. The doctor doesn't know why, but we are switching docs and I am hoping to get an answer on this. He said it could be any number of things, including celiac disease...?? Buster, if you have any info on elevated eosinophils, I would love it - a google search revealed very little... Stephanie In another thread there were some discussions regarding allergies...

mama2alex Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Yes! Eosinophil level was 9 (normal range 0 - 5.0). What does this mean?? The immunologists at UCLA never mentioned it - I just looked it up after reading your post. Also, lymphocytes were just above normal range. Would love to know what that means too.

Buster Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Posted November 18, 2009 Hi folks, I somehow missed the posts back here -- sorry. I don't know what it means exactly. There is a % number and an absolute count number for Eosinophils. I've been wondering about EAMom's comment that the reaction is like an allergy (given the suddenness of symptoms) and while we clearly see the B-cell antibody activation (in the CaM Kinase II #), it made me wonder if the body was also creating Eosinophils and elevated IgE. No idea if it means anything or just that kids get a lot of allergies too -- but our daughter was elevated for Eosinophils each time she had a major exacerbation. Generally Eosinophils are often high with allergies and for some bacterial infections. It just caught me as something really odd. When I spoke to the immunologist he dismissed it saying "everyone he sees has high eosinophils" -- he's in the allergy center :-) Buster Yes! Eosinophil level was 9 (normal range 0 - 5.0). What does this mean?? The immunologists at UCLA never mentioned it - I just looked it up after reading your post. Also, lymphocytes were just above normal range.
