The NADPH oxidase of human eosinophils, measured in the cell-free system, shows the same characteristics as the enzyme from human neutrophils. All proteins required for activity of the enzyme are expressed in eosinophils at a higher level than in neutrophils. Eosinophils isolated from patients with chronic granulomatous disease show the same molecular defects as the neutrophils from these patients.

Proteinase 3 (PR3)-Positive Perinuclear Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (pANCA) Vasculitis With Concurrent Invasive Aspergillosis Infection.
Cureus
January 2025
Adult Critical Care, St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London, GBR.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitides are a group of rare diseases that cause inflammation of small to medium vessels. They comprise granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). As the signs and symptoms are varied, the diagnosis of vasculitis is complex and challenging; however, there are type-specific clinical presentations that can be factored into the existing classification criteria.

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is marked by eosinophilic infiltration and the release of inflammatory mediators that cause damage to multiple organs. Despite careful evaluation of hypereosinophilia, the etiology of most cases remains undefined. Eosinophils may cause damage in almost all organs, and most patients present with dermatological manifestations.

World J Urol
January 2025
Department of Urology, University of Kiel (UKSH), Arnold-Heller-Strasse 1-3, 24105, Kiel, Germany.
Purpose: Evaluation of the prognostic significance of four different scoring systems in a real-world cohort of patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) or renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) undergoing immunotherapy (IO).
Methods: For 120 patients with mUC (n = 67) and mRCC (n = 53) who received IO between July 2016 and December 2020 at the tertiary Urological University Medical Centre Mannheim, the following scores were recorded at pre-treatment baseline: modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (NER). Overall survival (time between the beginning of IO until the patients' death or last contact) was determined for every patient.
Biologic Therapies for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
COPD
December 2025
Division of Respirology, Department of Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Background: Despite limited breakthroughs in COPD pharmacotherapy, recent trials have shown promising results for biologics in COPD patients. However, robust evidence synthesis in this area is currently lacking.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to July 17, 2024, to identify randomized trials of biologic medications in patients with COPD.
Immune responses in children with secondary infection of mycoplasma pneumoniae after COVID-19: focus on eosinophils and IgE.

Luoyang Research Center for Inheritance and Innovation of Chinese Historical Civilization, Luoyang Institute of Science and Technology School of Marxism (LIT), No. 90 Wangcheng Avenue, Luolong District, Luoyang City, Henan Province, China.
Background: The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic has posed a major challenge to global public health, especially in children. Some children may experience secondary infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae after SARS-CoV-2 infection, which has attracted widespread attention. Studies have shown that eosinophils play an important role in respiratory tract infections and are involved in regulating immune responses and inflammatory processes.
