I am suffering from very high AEC count in blood. I am facing problem of breath shortening and Gastric Problems for last 6 years but I kept Ignoring it. Recently I went for AEC test and the count is 1700. I know it is very high. I am under treatment but my concern is will it get low to normal value? or is there any natural way to get rid of it?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, AEC count is the absolute eosinophil count. The normal AEC is between 100-600/ comic millimeter. Eosinophil count increases in various conditions. Some of these common conditions are:1. Parasitic infections e.g. tape worm infection, ascariasis, hook worm infection, strongyloidiasis, etc.2. Allergic conditions: asthma, hay fever, urticaria, etc3. Tropical eosinophilia4. Loeffler syn Chat Doctor.  Pulmonary eosinophilia6. Idiopathic eosinophilia7. Neoplastic conditions: Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic eosinophil leukemia etc. A stool examination should be done to look for any parasitic infection. After ruling out parasitic infection (which is the most common cause of eosinophilic), other causes should be looked for. Shortness of breath suggests that the primary cause lies in the lungs. Is there any history of asthma? Exacerbation of allergic conditions can cause increase in eosinophil counts. Loefflers syn
