Abstract
Although beneficial in allergic and parasitic disease, eosinophils exert nonspecific toxic effects upon host tissues, especially the central and peripheral nervous systems. Eosinophil-induced neurotoxicity is characterized by axonal neuropathy, cerebral infarction, and dementia. Eosinophil-derived cytotoxic proteins are fundamental to the pathogenesis of this disorder.Keywords
