Abstract
Eosinophilic granulocytes physiologically represent only about 1-3% of all leukocytes in the blood. It is therefore a relatively sparse population and its pathological values are found less often than is the case of neutrophilic granulocytes or lymphocytes.
Therefore, these findings sometime in routine clinical practice would cause some embarrassment. Article German author elaborates the basic features and functions of eosinophils, the most common cause of eosinophilia and proposes a diagnostic procedure for its findings.
Everything is very well-arranged and diagnostics proceeds from the least demanding examinations to more difficult, less available and more burdensome patient. In terms of the availability of the proposed examinations in the Czech Republic, the situation is not much different from German neighbors, a diagnostic procedure can thus be used without any problems even in our conditions.
