Eosinophil-associated inflammation and elaboration of eosinophil-derived proteins in 2 children with raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) encephalitis.
OBJECTIVE Eosinophil-associated proteins, especially eosinophil-derived neurotoxin, may be important contributors to the neurologic pathology and symptoms caused by Baylisascaris procyonis infection. METHODS Two cases of severe B procyonis encephalitis with evidence of marked eosinophil degranulation in the central nervous system are presented. Serial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens were ...
متن کاملElemental diet decreases inflammation and improves symptoms in adult eosinophilic oesophagitis patients
BACKGROUND Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a chronic disease, driven by food allergens. Elemental diets are effective for the management of children with EoE, but studies on the effect of elemental diets in adults are scarce and poor palatability challenges dietary adherence. AIM To assess the effects of an elemental diet (Neocate, Nutricia, Utrecht, the Netherlands) on the inflammation, s...
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 کاملEosinophil infiltration in the upper gastrointestinal tract of patients with bronchial asthma.
BACKGROUND Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is related to allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma (BA), atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis. The aim of this study was to examine the eosinophil infiltration in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract in patients with BA using esophagogastroduodenoscopy. METHODS Patients with BA who had upper GI tract symptoms were enrolled. Patients who rec...
متن کاملEsophageal subepithelial fibrosis in children with eosinophilic esophagitis.
OBJECTIVES Esophageal subepithelial fibrosis has been reported in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). Our goal was to determine the prevalence of esophageal fibrosis in children with EE, to determine whether it is specific for EE, and to correlate it with clinical and pathological features. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-one children with EE, 7 with eosinophilic gastroenteritis, 6 with ga...
