Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome: 16-Year Experience
نویسنده
چکیده
RESULTS. Of 326 patients diagnosed with SEE over a 7-year period, 43 (mean age: 8.5 years; male: 67%) met inclusion criteria. After PPI therapy, 17 patients (40%) were responders. There were no significant differences in demographic features, presenting symptoms, endoscopic findings, or histologic findings between responders and nonresponders. Among patients with 15 to 20 eosinophils per hpf on EMB, 50% were responders; among patients with 20 eosinophils per hpf on EMB, 29% were responders. Seven (41%) of 17 patients with abnormal pH monitoring and 5 (45%) of 11 patients with normal monitoring were responders.

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome: 16-year experience.
OBJECTIVE The goal was to examine the demographic characteristics, causative foods, clinical features, treatments, and outcomes for children presenting with acute food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome. METHODS This was a retrospective study of children with food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome who presented to the Children's Hospital at Westmead (Sydney, Australia) over 16 years....
متن کاملFour infants presenting with severe vomiting in solid food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome: a case series
INTRODUCTION Several different foods have been implicated in inducing the delayed and very significant vomiting and sometimes diarrhea that occurs in food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome. While immunoglobulin E is not involved, the mechanism(s) that result in the food-induced gastrointestinal symptoms are unclear, although T cell activation has been considered. We report four cases of fo...

Food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a food-related non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal hypersensitivity disorder. Atypical FPIES is characterized by the presence of specific IgE for the causative food. The guidelines suggested for diagnostic oral food challenge in pediatric patients affected by suspected FPIES are different from the ones for children with IgE-mediated food alle...
متن کاملEgg provoked food protein‐induced enterocolitis‐like syndrome in an adult
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome is a non-IgE-mediated food allergy usually diagnosed in infancy. We report a case of a similar syndrome in an adult, following ingestion of egg. We remind clinicians to consider this diagnosis which may present to emergency physicians and gastroenterologists long before an allergist is consulted.
متن کاملAtopy patch test for the diagnosis of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome.
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is thought to be a non-IgE mediated food allergy syndrome. Affected infants typically demonstrate gastrointestinal symptoms after hours after ingestion of the offending food. Traditional allergy testing is not useful for this disorder because tests for food specific IgE are routinely negative. A diagnostic oral food challenge (OFC) is the only...
