Eosinophilic esophagitis in patients with typical gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms refractory to proton pump inhibitor
BACKGROUND TREATMEN The contribution of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) to refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains unknown. When EoE and GERD overlap, the clinical, endoscopic and histological findings are nonspecific and cannot be used to distinguish between the two disorders. Limited data are available on this topic, and the interaction between EoE and GERD is a matter of deb...
متن کاملTwo Cases of Esophageal Eosinophilia: Eosinophilic Esophagitis or Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease?
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and gastroesophageal reflux disease are among the major causes of isolated esophageal eosinophilia. Isolated esophageal eosinophilia meeting criteria for EoE may respond to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment. This entity is termed proton pumps inhibitor responsive esophageal eosinophilia (PPI-REE). Gastro-esophageal reflux is thought to comprise a subgroup of p...
متن کاملGastro-esophageal Reflux Disease
Gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is a physiological phenomenon occurring in every individual. Gastro-esophageal reflux Disease (GERD) is a pathological condition where the reflux into the esophagus causes local changes and aspiration of the gastric contents in to the lungs can cause serious, even life threatening conditions. GERD is common but under-diagnosed condition in children. There are fund...
متن کاملThe Effects of Pantoprazole on the Treatment of Palpitation in Patients with Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A Case Series
Introduction: Atrial arrhythmia is a common complication in patients with gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The treatment of palpitation is relatively problematic in these patients, especially if there is not enough evidence of cardiovascular or systemic diseases. The esophagus is in close proximity to the left atrium posterior wall. Hypothetically, locally released cytokines from esopha...
متن کاملAssociation between Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Barrett’s Esophagus in Patients with Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Symptoms and Erosive Esophagitis
Objective: Barrett esophagus (BE) is considered to develop as a result of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and to predispose to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Helicobacter pylori infection is said to play an etiological role in gastric carcinogenesis but possible role in Barret’s esophagus remains uncertain. The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between helicobac...
