A case study on nurse-led asthma clinic in rural Western Australia.
TLDR
Basophils are multifunctional haematopoeitic cells primarily produced in the bone marrow and after maturation, they reside in the circulation until recruited into tissue at sites of inflammation as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
Basophils are the least abundant of peripheral blood leukocytes and have long been associated with myeloproliferative disorders 1 .Data suggests that varied causes of basophilia are commonly overlooked. This article aims to provide an overview of basophilia and its associated causes. Basophils are multifunctional haematopoeitic cells primarily produced in the bone marrow. After maturation, they reside in the circulation until recruited into tissue at sites of inflammation. They number upto 0.1x10 9 /L of blood.read more

TL;DR: Activated basophils promoted systemic eosinophilia, were associated with differentiation of alternatively activated macrophages in the lung, and contributed to efficient worm expulsion, demonstrating that basophil play a crucial role as effector cells in type 2 immune responses.
