About Eosinophil Awareness Week

United States
EVENT NAME:
Eosinophil Awareness Week, Ntl.
EVENT CATEGORIES:
Health , Food
United States
Dates Active:
Begins: May 15, 2022
Ends: May 21, 2022

DESCRIPTION:

Created by the US Congress in 2007, National Eosinophil Awareness Week (NEAW) addresses eosinophil-associated diseases.

Eosinophils (pronounced “ee-oh-sin-oh-fills”) are a type of white blood cell that helps our immune systems fight off infections and parasites. They also play a role in allergic reactions and inflammatory processes.

When a person has elevated numbers of eosinophils in their digestive system, tissues, organs, and/or bloodstream, without a known cause, he or she may have an eosinophil-associated disease.

These conditions are further characterized by the areas of the body in which the eosinophils have accumulated. A few examples include the esophagus (eosinophilic esophagitis), stomach (eosinophilic gastritis), or the bladder (eosinophilic cystitis).

Symptoms of eosinophil disease may vary depending on the area of the body affected, and by age. Patients often embark on a long, frustrating journey seeing many different specialists before a diagnosis is made. Although not commonly life-threatening, these chronic diseases require lifelong treatment and can cause debilitating symptoms. Most subsets of eosinophil-associated disease do not yet have an FDA-approved pharmaceutical indicated for treatment.
