Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC, eosinophilia grading)

Absolute eosinophil count: total WBC × eosinophil percentage; ~500–1500 is mild, 1500–5000 moderate, and > 5000 cells/µL marked hypereosinophilia.

Example

Total WBC
8 ×10⁹/L
Eosinophil percentage
12 %

Result: Absolute eosinophil count 960 cells/uL — mild eosinophilia (500-1500).

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

< 500
Normal.
500-1500
Mild eosinophilia.
1500-5000
Moderate; meets the count threshold for hypereosinophilia (>= 1500).
> 5000
Severe. AEC = WBC x eosinophil %. A lab value, not a diagnosis.
