Hypereosinophilic asthma

La Revue du praticien
Jean-François Cordier

Abstract

Hypereosinophilic asthma (defined by blood eosinophils > 1 G/L, especially > 1.5 G/L) may be solitary (and often difficult to treat), or a manifestation of a hypereosinophilic disorder of determined cause (parasitic, iatrogenic, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis) or idiopathic (idiopathic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, Churg-Strauss syndrome, idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome). In addition to etiologic treatment when available long term corticosteroids are necessary in a majority of patients.

Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
