PDGFRB-associated chronic eosinophilic leukemia is a type of cancer of blood-forming cells. It is characterised by an elevated number of white blood cells called eosinophils in the blood. These cells help fight infections by certain parasites and are involved in the inflammation associated with allergic reactions. However, these circumstances do not account for the increased number of eosinophils in PDGFRB-associated chronic eosinophilic leukemia. Some people with this condition have an increased number of other types of white blood cells, such as neutrophils or mast cells, in addition to eosinophils. People with this condition can have an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) or enlarged liver (hepatomegaly). Some affected individuals develop skin rashes, likely as a result of an abnormal immune response due to the increased number of eosinophils.

Trapianto di cellule staminali
A trapianto di cellule staminali is where blood stem cells (the cells produced by the bone marrow to turn into different types of blood cells) are put back into your body when your bone marrow has been destroyed and cannot make stem cells itself. The bone marrow can be destroyed by diseases such as cancer, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. When is a stem cell.
