Pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis in Portugal.

Allergic responses to food and aeroallergens have been increasingly implicated in the etiology of this disease. We describe a retrospective data analysis of pediatric EoE patients followed in our Immunoallergology Department. Of the 25 children (22 male, average 10.8 y...
متن کاملEosinophilic Esophagitis in Brazilian Pediatric Patients

The patients were between 3 and 17 years old (mean 7.8 ± 3.8 years), and 8 of the patients were male. Common symptoms included abdominal pain, regurgitation, difficulty in gaining wei...

Though recent studies suggest that changes in dietary composition may alter the distal gut microbiome, little is currently known about the impact of a restricted diet upon microbial communities of the oral and es...
متن کاملEosinophilic esophagitis: between reflux and allergy

This condition mostly affects males and is increasingly being reported in all age groups, with a prevalence currently estimated at around 1:1000 ...
متن کاملPediatric and adult eosinophilic esophagitis: similarities and differences.
Early in the 1990s, several case series described adults suffering from dysphagia and children with refractory reflux symptoms, both accompanied by an eosinophil-predominant infiltration, thereby conclusively distinguishing it from gastroesophageal reflux disease. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was recognized as its own entity in the adult and in the pediatric literature. In the last decade, ev...
