इओसिनोफिलिया एक ऐसी स्थिति है जब आपके रक्त में इओसिनोफिल के सामान्य स्तर से अधिक पाया जाता है। इओसिनोफिल्स एक प्रकार की बीमारी से लड़ने वाली श्वेत रक्त कोशिका हैं। इसे कई बार सामान्य भाषा में स्नोफीलिया कहा जाता है। यह स्थिति अक्सर परजीवी संक्रमण, एलर्जी प्रतिक्रिया या कैंसर का संकेत देती है।
आपके रक्त में उच्च स्तर के इओसिनोफिल्स कई जगहों पर पाए जा सकते हैं खून में (रक्त इओसिनोफिलिया) या संक्रमण या सूजन (ऊतक इओसिनोफिलिया) के स्थान पर ऊतकों में भी हो सकते हैं।
