Could be possible to predict eosinophil accumulation in esophageal mucosa in eosinophilic esophagitis without perform endoscopic examination?
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is a recently recognized but expanding disorder characterized by antigen-driven eosinophil accumulation in the esophagus, meanwhile all other segments of the gastrointestinal tract are normal. Patients typically have recurrent dysphagia and food impactions, and they have evidence of food and aeroallergen hypersensitivity. The esophagus is normally devoid of eosinop...
متن کاملNon-eosinophilic asthma: importance and possible mechanisms.
There is increasing evidence that inflammatory mechanisms other than eosinophilic inflammation may be involved in producing the final common pathway of enhanced bronchial reactivity and reversible airflow obstruction that characterises asthma. A review of the literature has shown that, at most, only 50% of asthma cases are attributable to eosinophilic airway inflammation. It is hypothesised tha...
متن کاملChronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia in an 11-Year-Old Boy
Idiopathic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare and serious disease mostly encountered in female asthmatic patients in their fifth decade of life and rarely in children. Herein, we describe an 11-year-old boy presenting with clubbing of fingers and post-exertional cough without asthma and peripheral eosinophilia. He had had a restrictive pattern in his pulmonary function test that showed ...
متن کاملSegregation of eosinophil proteins in alveolar macrophage compartments in chronic eosinophilic pneumonia.
BACKGROUND The objective was to characterise the process and consequences of eosinophil activation and lysis in patients with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and to compare them with those in patients with eosinophil pulmonary infiltrates from other causes. METHODS Cells from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of four patients with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and four patients with eosinophilic i...
متن کاملEosinophils in eosinophilic pneumonia.
Idiopathic eosinophilic pneumonia (IEP) is an uncommon disease of unknown aetiology characterized by the accumulation of eosinophils in the lung, variable blood eosinophilia and peripheral opacities on the chest radiogram. The response to steroid treatment is dramatic but relapses are frequent, requiring the use of long-term steroid treatment [1]. Eosinophils are primarily tissue cells, contain...
