Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Clinical Features and Prognosis
REVIEWER COMMENTS. The APT has been investigated as a new diagnostic tool for patients with food or inhalant allergies when non–immunoglobulin E–mediated reactions are considered, such as in identifying triggers for atopic dermatitis, allergic eosinophilic esophagitis, and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome. However, studies have demonstrated conflicting results for the utility of this...
متن کاملClinical features distinguish eosinophilic and reflux-induced esophagitis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Diagnosing eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) depends on intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≥15 eosinophils per high-power field (HPF); however, differentiating EoE from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) continues to be a challenge because no true "criterion standard" criteria exist. Identifying clinical and endoscopic characteristics that distinguish EoE could provi...

It is diagnosed based on symptoms of esophageal dysfunction, the presence of at least 15 eosinophils/high-power field in esophageal biopsy specimens, and exclusion of co...
متن کامل[Clinical implications of endoscopically suspected eosinophilic esophagitis].

METHODS From June 2006 to December 2009 in Gangnam Severance Hospital, we prospectively enrolled the patients of "endoscopically suspected eosinophilic esophagitis (ESEoE)", and then we retrosp...
متن کاملClinical Analysis of Primary Eosinophilic Esophagitis
BACKGROUND/AIMS Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the esophagus. Similar to asthma, EoE can induce irreversible structural changes in the esophagus as a result of chronic and persistent eosinophilic inflammation. The aim of this study was to analyse changes in symptoms, eosinophil counts and endoscopic findings after treatment. METHODS Nine patients with EoE...
