Dr Hall, thats a fascinating statement. Do you have any references which
back that up? what level of eosinophils would you consider as elevated in a
setting of sepsis? we do differentials  for eosinophilia in india because of
tropical eosinophilia, but i'd never thought of looking specifically at
eosinophils in this setting.
thanks,
rangraj
