title: [Recent opinions on the role of acidophilic granulocytes in mechanisms of immunological defence and in pathogenesis of selected human diseases].
abstract: This article presents human diseases where the main etiological factor is hypereosinophily: eosinophilic cystitis - EC, eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders - EGID, which includes eosinophilic esophagitis - EE, and eosinophilic gastritis - EG, and finally nasal polyps - NP. A particular stress is put on the absence of correlations between circular hypereosinophily and presence of the described diseases.
