Many infections case cause eosinophilia [19] Hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) HES are defined as [20] : " AEC 1500/L and clinical manifestations attributable to eosinophilia" OR "Tissue hypereosinophilia with blood eosinophilia (AEC above the upper limit of normal for the reference laboratory" The six proposed HES are [20] : "myeloid hypereosinophilic syndrome (MHES)HES with presumed or proven clonal eosinophilia" "lymphocytic variant hypereosinophilic syndrome (LHES)HES with an aberrant or clonal lymphocyte population driving the eosinophilia" "overlap HESeosinophilic disease restricted to a single organ system or defined eosinophilic syndromes that overlap in presentation with idiopathic HES (eg, EGPA)" "associated HESHES in the setting of a known secondary cause that requires treatment directed at the cause rather than the eosinophilia itself (eg, helminth infection, drug hypersensitivity, and immunodeficiency)" "familial HES" "idiopathic HESHES that does not fall into any of the other categories" Eosinopenia Eosinopenia is a decrease in eosinophil number, which occurs when glucocorticoids are administered or when Cushing's disease is present

Nevertheless, IGF-I mRNA abundance is reduced in the brain of hypophysectomized rats and, intracerebral infusion of GH restores IGF-I mRNA to 80% of normal levels[70], which points out that GH has a clear role in modulating brain IGF-I
