Eosinophils have been mainly associated with parasitic infection and pathologies such as asthma. Some patients with asthma present a high number of eosinophils in their airways. Since respiratory viruses are associated with asthma exacerbations, several studies have evaluated the role of eosinophils against respiratory viruses. Eosinophils contain and produce molecules with antiviral activity, including RNases and reactive nitrogen species. They can also participate in adaptive immunity, serving as antigen-presenting cells. Eosinophil antiviral response has been demonstrated against some respiratory viruses in vitro and in vivo, including respiratory syncytial virus and influenza. Given the implication of respiratory viruses in asthma, the eosinophil antiviral role might be an important factor to consider in this pathology.
