Signs and symptoms of pneumonia may include: 1  Chest pain when you breathe or cough. 2  Confusion or changes in mental awareness (in adults age 65 and older) 3  Cough, which may produce phlegm. 4  Fatigue.

Eosinophils are produced in the bone marrow from. CD 34+ pluripotent progenitor cells, which are common. to both eosinophils and basophils under the influence of. growth factors, including interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulo-. cyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and IL-5.
The eosinophil count can decrease with stress, with the use of Î²-blockers or corticosteroids, and sometimes during bacterial or viral infections. The count can increase with allergic disorders, during certain infections (typically parasitic), and as a result of numerous other causes (see Eosinophilia). The circulating half-life of eosinophils is 6 to 12 h, with most eosinophils residing in tissues (eg, the upper respiratory and GI tracts, skin, uterus).
