Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Tuberculosis presents with lymphocytosis not eosinophilia
2. ESR will be more than 100
3. Eosinophilia is a feature of tropical eosinophilia. There is no correlation.
4. Possible misdiagnosis. Discuss with your doctor. If required, get a biopsy done.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
