BACKGROUND
Celiac disease (CD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are distinct diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with specific clinico-pathological characteristics. Recent studies have found higher rates of EoE in patients with CD than in the general population. Our aim was to estimate the
Purpose: In East Asian countries, there are only a few epidemiologic studies of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and no studies in children. We investigated the incidence and compared the clinical characteristics of EoE and eosinophilic gastroenteritis involving the
BACKGROUND
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is defined by infiltration of eosinophils in the esophageal mucosa (>20 eosinophils/hpf). The epidemiology and seasonal variation have not been well studied in children and adolescents.
METHODS
Review of all esophageal biopsies performed from January 2001 to
Eosinophilic esophagitis and eosinophilic gastroenteritis is being recognized more frequently among the adult patients. The disease is characterized by massive infiltration of the wall of gastrointestinal tract by sheets of eosinophils. The clinical features depend upon the site of involvement. They
Lymphocytic esophagitis (LoE) is a recently described upper gastrointestinal tract "disorder" diagnosis of which hinges on histology and is characterized by the excessive infiltration of lymphocytes in the peripapillary fields of the esophageal epithelium, with clinical BACKGROUND
Esophagitis is an increasingly diagnosed disease. Patients with gastroesophagic reflux, dysphagia, vomiting or abdominal pain, with a torpid response to the treatment, could be suffering from it.
METHODS
A 37 year-old male patient with background of gastroesophagic reflux and dysphagia
A 16-month-old boy presented with failure to thrive despite sufficient caloric intake, hypersalivation, abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea and blepharitis. An eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was diagnosed by esophageal biopsy. Dietary restrictions and topical steroid treatment lead to no improvement.
To delineate clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the youngest of children.
Retrospective chart review.
A 7-year retrospective chart review of children with clinicopathologic diagnosis of EoE was performed with specific analysis of patients under 5
OBJECTIVE
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE), a rare chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus, is predominantly observed in children and is primarily manifested with feeding difficulties. To our knowledge, no self- or caregiver-reported questionnaires are available to assess pediatric EE symptoms
BACKGROUND
The association between celiac disease (CD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has been the focus of multiple studies with variable results. Both diseases are immune mediated, and dietary triggers play a role in their pathogenesis.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to analyze the risk of
OBJECTIVE
Eosinophilic esophagitis and celiac disease are distinct gastrointestinal disorders. The present study in children highlights the possible coexistence of these two conditions. This study also analyzes the epidemiological and clinical profiles of these patients.
METHODS
The medical records
Food intolerance is an adverse reaction to a particular food or ingredient that may or may not be related to the immune system. A deficiency in digestive enzymes can also cause some types of food intolerances like lactose and gluten intolerance. Food intolerances may cause unpleasant symptoms,
BACKGROUND
The clinical characteristics of Japanese patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) have not been fully clarified. For understanding the pathogenesis as well as providing support for accurate diagnosis, precise information regarding clinical
OBJECTIVE
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are a rare group of disorders that can have varied clinical presentations dependent on the involved segment within the gastrointestinal tract. Eosinophilic gastritis presents with abdominal pain or vomiting, eosinophilic gastroenteritis
Intensive chemotherapy (ICT) for a malignant disease in children may be associated with clinically significant mucosal lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract. This prospective and randomized study was conducted to evaluate more thoroughly the mucosal damage and to find out whether vitamin A
