High absolute and percentage of basophils may be indicative of certain allergic diseases, blood diseases and infectious diseases.
1. Allergic diseases: Inhalation of allergens such as dust mites, dust, animal dander and moldy food can cause allergic colitis, allergic gastritis, allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma and so on. At this time, the absolute value and percentage of basophils will be high.
2. Blood diseases: chronic granulomatous diseases, myelofibrosis, basophilic leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease are often accompanied by basophilia. In addition, chronic hemolysis and splenectomy may increase the absolute value and percentage of basophils.
3. Infectious diseases: patients with chickenpox, influenza, smallpox, tuberculosis, etc., may have high absolute and percentage basophils.
There may be other reasons for high absolute and percentage basophils. It is recommended that the patient should consult a doctor in time for clarification of the specific cause and appropriate treatment if necessary.
