What is the normal number of eosinophils?
Disease description:
The school organized a physical examination for everyone, and I learned for the first time about eosinophils in the human body. When I compared my results with those of my classmates, I noticed a clear difference. I now really want to know what the normal range is for the number of eosinophils.

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell in the human body, and their normal reference ranges may vary slightly depending on different reference articles and testing instruments.
Generally, the normal range for eosinophils is between 0.02 and 0.52 × 10⁹/L, or expressed as a percentage, between 0.4% and 8.0%. These values are based on average levels under normal physiological conditions and may be influenced by various factors such as age, gender, and health status.
If the eosinophil count exceeds or falls below the normal range, it may indicate the presence of certain diseases or abnormal conditions in the body. A comprehensive evaluation combining other test results and clinical symptoms is required for accurate interpretation.
