Eosinophil Response To Trauma And Infection

Abstract

A prospective study of an aspect of body response to trauma and infection using eosinophil count as a parameter conducted at the Kenyatta National Hospital over a period of eight months is presented. A good correlation was found between the eosinophil count and magnitude of trauma and infection. From the results of the eosinophil count it was found that post-operative wound infection could be predicted.
