What is ABSOLUTE EOSINOPHIL COUNT (AEC)?

The Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) measures the exact number of eosinophils, a specific type of white blood cell, in your blood. Eosinophils play a key role in your immune response, particularly in fighting parasitic infections and allergic reactions.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal AEC levels can indicate various health issues. High eosinophil counts (eosinophilia) are often associated with allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, and certain autoimmune diseases. Low counts can sometimes be seen in acute infections or stress.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
