What is the normal eosinophil count?
Disease description:
Our school organized a physical examination for all students, and it was the first time I learned about eosinophils in the human body. After comparing my test results with those of my classmates, I noticed a clear difference—and now I’m especially curious: What is the normal range for eosinophil count?

Dr. Xing Jian
The normal percentage of eosinophils is typically 0.5–5%, and the absolute eosinophil count is generally 0–0.5 × 10⁹/L. However, the aforementioned reference ranges are not absolute, as different hospitals may use varying laboratory instruments and reagents, leading to differences in established normal reference values. Therefore, the reference values cited above are provided for general informational purposes only; please refer to the reference ranges printed on your laboratory report from the hospital where you received testing.
