Eosinophilic (eosinophal) bodies are specific structures that are formed in the tissues of various human organs and systems. They were first described in 1926 by the American pediatrician Norman Councilman, who gave them the appropriate name.
In the tissues of human organs, eosinophilic bodies have a characteristic shape and size. They consist of a membrane that surrounds a nucleus containing many small particles called eosinophils. These particles are immunological cells that produce antibodies against parasites and toxins.
Eosinophlic bodies are formed in response to various factors - allergic reactions, infectious diseases, parasitic infestations, etc. They can be found in blood, urine, saliva, sputum and other biomaterials.
Analysis of the presence of eosinoflocytes in the blood makes it possible to diagnose certain types of allergic reactions, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of allergy treatment. In some infectious diseases, the presence of such bodies in saliva can also serve as an important diagnostic sign. In addition, in clinical practice, eosinolylic bodies are an indicator of the eosinophilic nature of diseases. This makes them an important diagnostic finding in distinguishing between the primary and secondary nature of symptoms.
