Question
(Based on the information in th photo) A year after this patient’s appendectomy, he was treated with corticosteriods for an inflammation and had an eosinophil differential count of 1%. What clinical word describes this measurement? How do these observations relate to each other? A patient had a white blood cell count of 12,000, with neutrophils comprising 85% of the total. Shortly there- after, he had abdominal pain from appendicitis and the appendix was surgically removed. A year later, he was given corticosteroids to treat an inflammation and had an eosinophil differential count of 196.Explanation / Answer
Answer- A patient white blood count was more than normal limit ( 11,000), and neutriphils was also more (85%) Than normal range (40%-80%) with abdominal pain and appendectomy. After one year eosinophil is 1% where normal range of eosinophil is 1- 6% means it is an near range of low count . The clinical word describes this measurement of eosinophi is Eosinopenia. It is agranulocytosis where the number of eosinophil granulocytes is less than normal range.
The coeticosteroids inhibited random e-osinophil migration eosinophil adherence and chemotaxis produce eosinopenia and decrease the local accumulation of eosinophils in the presence of coerticosteroids.
