Although clinical diagnosis for IH is well-established, the haematological parameters associated with IH are not well explored. In this short study, we observed significantly higher eosinophil (EO) numbers in IH patient blood compared to healthy controls. This contributed to the observed higher EO % in the peripheral blood of IH patients and was irrespective of age. This new haematological finding could carry a potential diagnostic/prognostic relevance for IH.Infantile hemangiomaeosinophilhaematologyChinaJournal article2-s2.0-85079339623Published as ‘gold’ (paid) open accessOpenPUB0201065341
