Blood Eosinophil Counts in Healthy Volunteers and in Patients with Asthma and COPD in India: A Multi-Centre Cross-Sectional Report
The range of eosinophils in the contemporary Indian population aligns with data from Europe, affirming the validity of using BEC as a biomarker in obstructive lung disease within the Indian demographic. This insight challenges the prevailing assumption of distinct eosinophil count profiles in different geographical regions and underscores the global applicability of eosinophil-based management strategies for asthma and COPD.
