Genetics of eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE)
EoE is a global health condition, with an incidence of ~1 per 10,000 people in the US. Symptoms of EoE greatly impar quality of life. Individuals with EoE are predominantly young males with a high rate of atopic disease, and the diagnosis of EoE is made by endoscopy and biopsy findings of isolated eosinophils in the esophagus. Although the underlying cause remains unknown, EoE as other atopic d...
متن کاملEosinophilic oesophagitis: an enigmatic, emerging disease.
Eosinophilic oesophagitis is a disease that has emerged in recent years. It is often associated with dysphagia and oesophageal food impaction in adults. The disease is characterised by infiltration of eosinophilic granulocytes into the oesophageal mucosa. This infiltrate may be responsible for the subtle peristaltic abnormalities that can be found in these patients. Endoscopic findings are usua...
متن کاملEosinophilic oesophagitis: a clinical update.
British Journal of General Practice, September 2012 499 BACKGROUND Eosinophilic oeosophagitis (EoE) is a clinicopathological disease typified by eosinophilic infiltrate of the oesophageal epithelium, due to an allergic inflammatory response mediated by either food antigens or aeroallergens. The presence of eosinophils in the oesophagus has been recognised for a number of years since they were d...
متن کاملA case of adult eosinophilic oesophagitis
Background Adults with Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EO) often present with a history of dysphagia and food impaction. Many are also atopic and sensitisation to foods is common; 81% of adults with EO in one study were sensitised to one or more food or inhalant allergen, and 50% had positive skin prick tests to one or more foods. Exclusion of foods has been reported to improve clinical symptoms; 94...
متن کاملEosinophilic oesophagitis and proton pump inhibitor-responsive oesophageal eosinophilia have similar clinical, endoscopic and histological findings.
BACKGROUND Some patients with a phenotypic appearance of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) respond histologically to PPI, and are described as having PPI-responsive oesophageal eosinophilia (PPI-REE). It is unclear if PPI-REE is a GERD-related phenomenon, a subtype of EoE, or a completely unique entity. AIM To compare demographic, clinical and histological features of EoE and PPI-REE. METHODS...
