[edit](s/b “How abt just ‘Eosinophil’?“)
[edit]Nobody refers to these as "eosinophil granulocytes"! Can we re-re-direct the page back to its original title - "Eosinophil"?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.11.148.135 (talk • contribs) 18:48, 1 September 2005
I agree with the above statement. Eosinophil alone is good enough for clinical hematologists. Also, the picture of the eosinophil on the main page is AWFUL. Eosinophils will stain orange-ish red. They are very distinctive. The one on the main page could be confused with a neutrophil. Anyone have a better photo? Rdbrd82 20:17, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
(s/b “Edibility“)
[edit]Glad someone picked up on the "edibility" section...! Hope the "WTF" wasn't taken too badly - the important thing is that the problem was recognised and corrected. Thank-you to whoever it was. :)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.236.51.251 (talk • contribs) 14:04, 7 October 2006
(s/b “Hypobromous?“)
[edit]Please explain how hypobromous acid fits in with the following.... "Reactive oxygen species such as hypobromite, superoxide, and peroxide (hypobromous acid, which is preferentially produced by eosinophil peroxidase)[17]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minnsurfur2 (talk • contribs) 18:02, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
Eosinophil figure describing structure

Captions
[edit]The captions in this article seem repetitive and uninformative. Seems pointless to me.Nashaii 18:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Phagocytic role
[edit]According to "Foundation in Microbiology - Basic Principles", Fourth Edition by Talaro, on page 437, it says that eosinophils play a phagocytic role, although minor role. I think this should be stated in the Wikipedia article. Similarily in the "Immune System" article, under phagocyte grouping, the eosinophil is not listed.

Low eosinophil count associated with Sars-CoV-2
[edit]- "The median age of the patients was 65.8 years and 72.9% were male. Common symptoms were fever (78 [91.8%]), shortness of breath (50 [58.8%]), fatigue (50 [58.8%]), dyspnea (60 [70.6%]). Hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease were the most common comorbidities. Notably, 81.2% patients had very low eosinophil counts at admission."

Have a nice day, go out and stop worrying.
