Eosinophilic enteritis is a rare disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall to a variable depth and symptoms associated with gastrointestinal tract depending upon the predominant layer involved. Diagnosis of eosinophilic enteritis requires a high index of suspicion and exclusion of various disorders that are associated with peripheral eosinop...

Background:Primary Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders are a rare entity with an obscure etiology. As simple as they sound, however, they require high degree of clinical suspicion as they can mimic various disorders of gastrointestinal tract. Here in we present our experience in a rural tertiary care hospital. Materials and Method:-All diagnosed cases of Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disord...

Eosinophils are involved in the initiation and propagation of diverse inflammatory responses, including antigen presentation and the release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, lipid mediators and cytotoxic granules (1-4) (Fig. 1). Tissue damage and dysfunction resulting from secretion of these pleiotropic mediators is a common pathogenic component in several diseases, including atopic as...

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases may affect the colon; however, isolated colonic involvement is very rare. Diagnosis of eosinophilic colitis requires clinical suspicion and it should be differentiated from other disorders causing eosinophil accumulation in the colon tissue. Herein we present a 46-year-old female admitted to the hospital with the complaints of bloody diarrhea (25-30 times ...

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. ...

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...

Allergic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract were once thought of as primarily dermatological manifestations of common food allergens such as peanuts. Recently, greater attention to these products has arisen as complex mechanisms of action have been more clearly delineated. Specific disease states have recently been recognized associated with gastrointestinal reactions to foods, such as cel...

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disorder characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall and various gastrointestinal manifestations. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and exclusion of various disorders that are associated with peripheral eosinophilia. We report on a woman who had a short history of abdominal pain and ascites, and who responded dramatically to a c...
