Hey everyone!

I posted this before on the wrong board. My question is, on a CBC (complete blood count) panel, have you ever noticed that your Eosiniphils was a little high? Mine was a bit high and the nurse said that it was due to allergies but the funny thing was, when I went in for this, I wasn't having any problems with my allergies. Do you suppose that a blood test can tell someone that they have allergies if they aren't having a flare up?

Doesn't matter if you are having a flare up or not. The test will jsut show that you have allergies...not exactly what they are. You need the scratch test for that.

So what you are saying is that if a person did not have allergies, the "Eosiniphils" would be in "normal" range on a blood test but if someone has allergies, then it will read a little high, right?

Yes - they can. It isn't conclusive in any way though.
