Description
The Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) is a laboratory test that quantifies the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, per microliter (μL) of blood. Eosinophils play a crucial role in the immune response against parasitic infections, allergic reactions, and certain inflammatory conditions. Measuring the AEC helps in diagnosing and monitoring various diseases, particularly those involving allergic or parasitic processes.
