Abstract
Eosinophilia is one of the most frequent analytical findings in paediatrics screenings focused on migrant children. On this basis, it is necessary to propose a specific diagnosis protocol for those patients.
Although it has been proved there is a significant association between eosinophilia and parasitic infection by helminths in patients from endemic areas, the differential diagnosis is wider and requires a unified and structured approach.
The objective of this report is to use specific case reports to illustrate the emerging diseases as a growing phenomenon, as well as to propose a specific pediatrics screening protocol for eosinophilia, especially for patients with a geographical mobility background. These diagnoses will lead to an early detection and specific treatment of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic children, because those conditions are not often perceived as a health problem by these families.
