Eosinopaenia refers to a reduction in the normal number of circulating blood [[Eosinophil|eosinophils]]. It ocurs most commonly as part of a [[Stress Leucogram|stress leucocgram]] and in other situations that result in an increase in the circulating concentration of glucocorticoids:

*'''Hyperadrenocorticism''' (Cushing's disease) results in a similar pattern due to an increase in endogenous glucocorticoids.

*'''Iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism''' caused by the administration of corticosteroids, even with the use of topical otic or ophthalmic preparations.

Corticosteroids are thought to exert a depressive effect on lymphocytes which usually stimulate eosinophil production.
