Eosinophilic 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 کاملThe oesophageal string test: a novel, minimally invasive method measures mucosal inflammation in eosinophilic oesophagitis
OBJECTIVE Eosinophil predominant inflammation characterises histological features of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE). Endoscopy with biopsy is currently the only method to assess oesophageal mucosal inflammation in EoE. We hypothesised that measurements of luminal eosinophil-derived proteins would correlate with oesophageal mucosal inflammation in children with EoE. DESIGN The Enterotest diag...
متن کاملEosinophilic oesophagitis: a novel treatment using Montelukast.
BACKGROUND Eosinophilic oesophagitis is a rarely diagnosed condition involving eosinophil infiltration of the oesophageal mucosa and creating significant symptoms of dysphagia. Failure to diagnose this disorder relates to reluctance to biopsy an apparently normal oesophagus. This is essential for histological diagnosis. To date, treatment success has been achieved only with corticosteroids. We ...
متن کاملA complication following a biopsy sample in eosinophilic esophagitis.
We present a case of a young 16 year old patient that had an esophageal perforation in the context of eosinophilic esophagitis. The esophagus showed vertical lacerations and mucosal thickness on endoscopy, thus a biopsy was performed in the proximal section which resulted in profuse bleeding due to a deep mucosal tear. A subsequent computed tomography scan revealed a perforation. Due to the abs...
متن کاملEosinophilic oesophagitis: clinical presentation and pathogenesis
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory disorder of the oesophagus which has become increasingly recognised over recent years, although it remains underdiagnosed in many centres. It is characterised histologically by a significant eosinophilic infiltration of the oesophageal mucosa (>15 eosinophils per high powered field), and clinically with features of oesophageal dysfunction such ...
