What are the Potential Complications of Eosinophilia?
Though often asymptomatic, eosinophilia can lead to significant complications if left untreated. These include organ damage from eosinophilic infiltration, such as cardiac damage or pulmonary complications. Chronic eosinophilia may also result in hypereosinophilic syndrome, a condition characterized by high eosinophil levels that can affect multiple organs. Nurses should be aware of these potential complications and monitor patients closely for any signs of organ dysfunction.
