    What is Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test?

    The Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test measures the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in a volume of blood. Eosinophils contain tiny granules filled with toxic proteins. These proteins are released to help the body fight off harmful invaders. Eosinophils play an important role in the immune system, especially in fighting parasitic infections, such as those caused by worms, and are also involved in allergic reactions and inflammatory processes.

    Getting an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test in Bangalore is valuable in understanding your immune health. This test can help diagnose conditions linked to abnormal eosinophil levels, such as allergic reactions, asthma, parasitic infections, and certain autoimmune disorders.

    Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test Parameters

    The AEC test measures only one parameter: the number of eosinophils in your blood sample. It helps identify both low levels (eosinopenia) and high levels (eosinophilia) of eosinophils. While occasional low eosinophil counts typically do not present serious health risks because other immune cells can compensate, persistent eosinopenia is a cause for concern and requires prompt medical attention. Eosinophilia can be caused by many conditions that are diagnosed based on the location of the high number of eosinophils. The eosinophil count helps confirm a diagnosis but does not specify what is causing the elevation and additional tests are required to determine the underlying cause of eosinophilia.

    Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test Preparation

    There are several important factors you should consider before getting an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test in Bangalore:

    • Prerequisites: Fasting is not necessary before getting an AEC test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You can get tested at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test: It is recommended to undergo this test to determine if there are abnormal results from a blood differential test. It may also be conducted if your doctor suspects you might have a specific disease that may affect the eosinophil count.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test: You don’t need to take special precautions before the test, but inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs, as some can affect the results. Medications that may elevate eosinophil levels include certain antibiotics, interferon, tranquillisers, amphetamines and specific laxatives containing psyllium.

    Why Take the Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test?

    The Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test is essential for several reasons:

    • Evaluation of symptoms: You may need an AEC test if you exhibit symptoms such as:

    • Rash

    • Pus-filled bumps on your skin

    • Swelling (inflammation)

    • Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing

    • Stomach and abdominal pain

    • Fatigue

    • Diagnosis of Allergic Conditions : The AEC test helps identify allergies by measuring eosinophil levels, which typically rise during allergic reactions.

    • Assessment of Parasitic Infections : Elevated eosinophils often indicate parasitic infections, making this test useful for diagnosing conditions caused by worms and other parasites.

    • Evaluation of Asthma and Other Respiratory Issues : High eosinophil counts are associated with asthma and other respiratory conditions, providing insights into inflammation of the lungs and the body’s immune response.

    • Comprehensive Health Evaluation : By providing a focused measurement of eosinophils, the AEC test complements other blood tests and contributes to a broader understanding of an individual’s immune health.
