Detailed explanation-1: -Helminthic infections are the most common parasitic diseases that produce eosinophilia. Nematode infections account for the majority of patients with eosinophilia in tropical countries, especially in areas where filariasis, ascariasis and hookworm infection are endemic.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most common parasitic infections associated with eosinophilia in refugees are the soil-transmitted helminths (trichuris, ascaris and hookworm), strongyloides, and schistosoma as well as many tissue-invasive parasites (e.g. parasites that migrate through human tissues as a part of their life cycle).

Detailed explanation-3: -An increased number of eosinophils may mean your body is fighting an infection or allergic reaction. Very high numbers may indicate a serious health condition.
