Eosinophils are associated with number of pathogenesis and inflammatory processes, including parasitic helminthes, bacterial and viral infections, bronchial asthma and other allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases as well as malignancies (Simon and Simon 2007 ). Some of them are briefly discussed below. ...
Usually, eosinophils are associated with the immune defense against parasites by the production of heme peroxidases, such as eosinophil peroxidase (EPX) stored in cytoplasmic granules. While eosinophils participate in diseases that are related to type 2 immune activation, like asthma16,17, several ...
Eosinophils are associated with helminth immunity and allergy, often in conjunction with alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs). Adipose tissue AAMs are necessary to maintain glucose homeostasis and are induced by the cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4). Here, we show that eosinophils are the major ...

Eosinophils are multifunctional cells whose activities are associated with a single gene and have a diverse role in inflammation as well as in immunity (both innate and adaptive). Our understanding of this multifunctional leukocyte over the past two decades has enhanced from a definitely damaging cell...
Eosinophils are implicated in allergen-mediated keratitis and conjunctivitis, including hay fever conjunctivitis and vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Eosinophils are also associated with sclerosing keratitis caused by the parasitic helminth Onchocerca volvulus , which causes River blindness. These studies use a mur...
Eosinophils and eosinophil-associated skin diseases osinophils are associated with many dermatoses. In atopic dermatitis(AD) and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), T helper 2 cytokines including interleukin 5... YP Zeng - 《Skin Disorders》 被引量: 1发表: 2008年 Eosinophils, Basophils, and Neutro...
Sheets of eosinophils are associated with mural edema (b). Most cases of mural eosinophilic gastroenteritis are likely secondary to other disorders. This actively inflamed gastric ulcer contains fibrin-rich granulation tissue with mixed inflammation, including numerous eosinophils (c). Sheets of ...
Background/Aims: Although eosinophils are considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of various parasitic, allergic and autoimmune digestive diseases, their role in fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is unknown. Our contribution was to identify and quantify eosinophils and cytokine levels [...
Most eosinophilic dermatoses are associated with pruritus that can be incredible, e.g., in atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis and scabies. Eosinophils may stimulate nerve cells and contribute to pruritus by releasing granule proteins (ECP, EDN, MCP), mediators such as substance P, vasoactive int...
