Background: Eosinophilia is defined as an abnormally elevated accumulation of eosinophils in the peripheral blood. Elevated levels necessitate investigation. Our aim was to investigate eosinophilia with clinical profile. Methods: This is an observational record-based study over 1 year. All relevant clinical data of the patients were recorded from the medical record and laboratory values were recorded using Beckman coulter LH750 hematology analyzer. Result: Of the 100 patients (58 males, 42 females), 65 were classified as mild, 25 as moderate, and 10 as severe eosinophilia. Breathlessness (32%) is the most common symptom and diabetes mellitus (17%) is the most common concomitant disease of eosinophilia in our study. Conclusion: Eosinophilia has been associated with a wide range of diseases and conditions. We concluded that, in addition to the known clinical features, lower limb pain is one of the unavoidable features in the evaluation of eosinophilia.
