Hi,
we have a case with increasing numbers of eosinophils (from 4% last year to 12% of the CD45+ cells) but no sign of allergy or churg-strauss.
Are there any markers for eosinophilic leukemia?
In addition the 12 year old patient has very low expression of the gamma chain (CD132) and had a very low expression of the IL-2 and IL-6 receptor which is higher this year compared to last year.
Any suggestions what to measure?
Thanks
Ruedi
