Basophilia from View Point of Eosinophilia as Result of Daily Routine Hematological Works; Statistical Observation of 668 Cases with Eosino= philia (855 Examinations)

51st Hematological Paper

Abstract

1. Basophilia was seen in 127 cases (14.9%) out of all the 855 cases examined.
2. The percentage of eosinophilia accompanied by basophilia to the cases of eosinophilia has an inclination to increase as the eosino- phile count becomes larger.
3. But strong basophilia (over 200) does not always go parallel to the intensity of eosinophilia.
4. There are cases in which basophiles are not seen in spite of a strong eosinophilia.
5. In our cases, eosinophilia preceded basophilia in 4 cases out of the 5 cases of acute infections diseases.
