Merge Hypereosinophilia into Eosinophilia
The given difference between
Pathophysiology
The first sentence/paragraph of the Pathophysiology section (IgE-mediated eosinophil production is induced by compounds released by basophils and mast cells, including eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis, leukotriene B4 and serotonin mediated release of eosinophil granules occur, complement complex (C5-C6-C7), interleukin 5, and histamine (though this has a narrow range of concentration)) is ungrammatical and difficult to comprehend. Unfortunately, I don't have enough subject-matter knowledge to fix it. Peter Chastain [¡hablá!] 14:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
Fungi that induce eosinophylia
I have the following content of the article transferred on the talk page: Asymptomatic eosinophilia, as an adverse reaction to
- it is phase II trial (i.e. a preliminary study),
- eosinophylia occured in 4 cases out of 18,
- it is not clear if this eosinophylia is a desirable effect or a side effect,
- there is a study [2] that accounts the effect for beta-D-glucan (a component of many fungi, not only Grifola frondosa).
