Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Normocytic normochromic anemia refers to type of anemia in which the shape and size and chroma of red blood cells is within normal limits. As you have mentioned that your red blood cell count is low, this may be the cause of low hemoglobin and thus anemia. Eosinophilia refers to elevated eosinophil counts in blood. Eosinophils increase in cases of parasitic infection, allergies, Chat Doctor. Consult your primary healthcare provider to assess the cause of low red blood cell count and raised numbers of eosinophils. Thanks and take care
