Causes of Low Basophil Level
Common causes of low basophil level include:
– Infections: When harmful substances or bacteria penetrate the body, basophils help fight against them. Typical symptoms include diarrhea, fever, pain, or pus.
– Hyperthyroidism: It occurs when the thyroid gland generates too much thyroid hormone. This speeds up many bodily functions. Typical signs include weight loss, excessive sweating, increased blood pressure, or increased heart rate.
– Acute hypersensitivity reactions: It occurs when an acute allergic reaction is caused when the body is trying to overact to a substance. Symptoms include itchy hives, red rash, runny nose, or watery eyes. [6]
