We describe reference to a family from Bosnia that the diagnosis of Trichinellosis can be difficult despite notice of travel-history and eosinophilia but lack of further epidemiological datas and due to the rarity of this zoonosis. Clinical pattern of trichinellosis are fever, headache, myalgia, periorbital oedema, less frequently diarrhea and abdominal pain. Dreaded complications are myocarditis and encephalitis. High eosinophilia and increased creatine phosphocinase activity are the most frequently observed laboratory features. The detection of specific circulating antibodies or the parasitological examination of a muscle biopsy will confirm the diagnosis. The medical treatment includes albendazol and steroid.

Introduction: In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the number of eosinophils increases in the lamina propria of the intestinal tract, but their specific patho-mechanistic role remains unclear. Elevated blood eosinophil counts in active IBD suggest their potential as biomarkers for predicting response to biological therapies. This study evaluates blood eosinophil count trends and their predictive value for clinical response and endoscopic improvement in patients with IBD receiving ustekinumab or adalimumab induction therapy.

Objective: To estimate the proportion of eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic (NEA) endotypes in pediatric asthma, and to compare the clinical, and laboratory characterisitics, and different comorbidities between the two endotypes in the children.
Methods: Children aged 5 to 14 years of age with clinical and/or laboratory-confirmed asthma attending the pediatric outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India between October 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024, were included in this cross-sectional study. Complete hemogram, absolute eosinophil count (AEC), IgE, and pulmonary function tests were performed in all patients.

Eosinophilia can be due to both infectious and non-infectious causes, many of which may be clinically indistinguishable. Filariasis, a tropical and subtropical infection, is caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia timori (B. timori), and Brugia malayi.

Cytoskeletal network dysregulation is a pivotal determinant in various immunodeficiencies and autoinflammatory conditions. This report reviews the significance of actin remodeling in disease pathogenesis, focusing on the Arp2/3 complex and its regulatory subunit actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1B (ARPC1B). A spectrum of cellular dysfunctions associated with ARPC1B deficiency, impacting diverse immune cell types, is elucidated.
