Eosinophilic pancreatitis is a rare form of recurrent acute pancreatitis that demonstrates distinct histologic features, including diffuse, periductal, acinar, and septal inflammatory infiltrates comprised of a pure or predominant population of eosinophils, eosinophilic phlebitis and arteritis, and localized eosinophilic infiltrates with pseudocyst formation. It is associated with elevated seru...

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a condition characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. Biliary obstruction is an unusual presentation. A case where the initial investigations were consistent with carcinoma of the head of pancreas but the resection specimen showed no malignancy is presented. The diagnosis was suspected from a review of the patient's past history an...

The hypereosinophilic syndrome is a severe disease affecting multiple organ systems as the heart, skin, liver, spleen, urinary, gastrointestinal, nervous, and hematopoietic systems. The most important findings are eosinophilic infiltration and peripheral eosinophilic leukocytosis. Here, we report liver involvement and abdominal computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) characteristics o...

Eosinophilic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract are increasingly rare but remain an important cause of long-standing gastrointestinal symptoms. Diagnosis is usually delayed because the disease mimics other inflammatory disorders and is often not suspected initially. We report a series of four cases to highlight the various imaging appearances of this condition. Two patients...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical picture, test results, and clinical evolution of patients with cerebral palsy associated with diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis, monitored at tertiary centre. METHODS Cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study that evaluated the medical records data of pediatric patients with diagnosis of cerebral palsy and eosinophilic esophagitis in a tertiar...

Membranous nephropathy represents the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adult patients. In 85% of cases the disease is classified as idiopathic membranous nephropathy, and in the remainder 15 % as secondary membranous nephropathy (systemic lupus erythematosus, infections, drugs, tumors, inorganics salts). Treatment of secondary membranous nephropathy is guided by therapy of the origina...

Eosinophilic digestive disease (EDD) includes a broad spectrum of clinical presentations due to eosinophilic inflammation involving anywhere from the esophagus to the rectum. The heterogeneity in the clinical presentations of EDD is determined by the site and depth of eosinophilic infiltration. The sites of inflammation determine the nomenclature for EDD. The most well characterized of these, e...

INTRODUCTION Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem disorder that may present with various symptoms. It may involve the gastrointestinal tract in a variety of ways; some of the most well-known ones are transaminitis, lupus mesenteric vasculitis, lupus enteritis and mesenteric vascular leakage. We describe a case of a patient with SLE who presented with a five-month history of diarr...

Abstract Histopathologic analysis of biopsy specimens obtained via white light endoscopy (WLE) is the gold standard for diagnosis several mucosal diseases in upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, this care entails a series critical shortcomings such as missing depth information, high costs, time inefficiency, low-resolution imaging vivo , sampling variability, intrinsic tissue-specific co...
