Description
Aim: The present study was designed to evaluate the prevalence and symptoms in eosinophilia using peripheral smear method. Methods: The study was done in Department of Pathology, Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Laheriasarai, Darbhanga, Bihar, India. It was done from February 2019 to January 2020. Study protocol was approved by Institutional Human Ethics Committee. The study included total of 100 patients based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The study included 100 patients. 25 patients were in the age group of 41-50 years. 22 patients were between 51-60 years. 3 patients in each had age between 1-10 and 81-90 years. Male (n=58) were more compared to females (n=42) in this study. Fever was the most common (n=25) symptom compared to others. 15 patients showed cough and 10 had breathlessness. 8 had chest pain and 8 had skin lesions. Least number of patients showed hemoptysis, hydrocele, headache, bleeding per rectum and history of snake bite. 60 patients in mild, 30 in moderate and 10 in severe eosinophilia categories were observed in this study. Conclusion: The study showed middle age with male sex is more prone to eosinophilia. Fever and cough are the most common symptoms.
