متن کاملEosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Pathology
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) are characterized pathologically by excess eosinophils in mucosal biopsies of one or multiple sites in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, simultaneously or sequentially. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is the best characterized EGID, and in most patients it is an abnormal immune-mediated response to food antigens. Current recommendations for diagnosis...

GI eosinophilia is associated with infections (parasites), nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory processes, neoplasias, and systemic disorders. However, in addition to eosinophilia, other histologic changes usually accompany the increased number of eosinophils in most of these conditions. In contrast, there is a gr...
