Test Code

The Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test is a blood test used to determine the exact number of eosinophils—one type of white blood cell—in the bloodstream. Eosinophils play an important role in the body’s immune response, especially in allergic reactions, asthma, parasitic infections, and some inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.

This test is often recommended when a patient shows symptoms such as persistent allergies, skin rashes, breathing difficulties, or unexplained infections. It is also used to monitor ongoing conditions and evaluate how well a treatment is working. The AEC test is usually performed along with a Complete Blood Count (CBC) for a more complete assessment of immune health. The procedure is simple, quick, and requires only a small blood sample.
