Asthma is a common cause of mild increase of eosinophils in peripheral blood and BAL differential cell counts (usually <5%), in the absence of eosinophilic pneumonia. Eosinophilia may also be found in induced sputum, a finding that may help in adapting the treatment and reduce asthma exacerbations and hospital admissions. Eosinophilic inflammation of the bronchial walls is very common at histopathology in asthmatics (45) and has been correlated with the severity of asthma, defining the eosinophilic variant of asthma (as opposed to the neutrophilic and pauci-leukocytic variants of asthma). The eosinophilic variant of asthma often begins late in adulthood, may be associated with aspirin intolerance, and may respond poorly to inhaled corticosteroids.
