متن کاملEosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Pathology
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) are characterized pathologically by excess eosinophils in mucosal biopsies of one or multiple sites in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, simultaneously or sequentially. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is the best characterized EGID, and in most patients it is an abnormal immune-mediated response to food antigens. Current recommendations for diagnosis...

OBJECTIVE Examine treatment adherence rates in pediatric eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID). METHODS Participants were children aged 2.5-18 years with eosinophilic esophagitis or eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) and their caregivers. A multimethod, multi-informant assessment including parent report and electronic monitoring was utilized, with a 90% cut point for nonadherence. ...
متن کاملElements Involved In Promoting Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) are food allergen-induced allergic gastrointestinal disorders, characterized by accumulation of highly induced eosinophils in different segments of gastrointestinal tract along with eosinophil microabssess and extracellular eosinophilic granules in the epithelial layer. EGID are both IgE- and cell-mediated group of diseases that include eosinophili...
متن کاملAn update on anorectal disorders for gastroenterologists.
