Although we still do not fully understand many aspects of eosinophil function, they are certainly active participants in important physiological and pathophysiological events. Eosinophils kill many species of helmints and other parasites and probably play a role in defence against infection; they also probably play a role in inflammatory responses in the lung, skin and heart. The following discussion will review finding that support such conclusions.
