eosinophilic gastroenteritis (ege) was a rare  gastrointestinal disease that was seen in all ages usually associated with dyspepsia, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, blood loss in stools and malabsorption. we reported a six-month-old boy with rectorrhagia, family history of allergy, elevated ige and eosinophil in blood with normal endoscopy. because of eosinophilic infiltration in lamina pro...

Celiac disease is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder, characterized by small intestinal inflammation and villous atrophy after the ingestion of gluten by genetically susceptible individuals. Several extraintestinal manifestations have been associated to celiac disease. Eosinophilic esophagitis is a primary disorder of the esophagus characterized by upper gastrointestinal symptoms, absence of g...

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has emerged as an important gastrointestinal (GI) disorder during the last 15 years, affecting approximately 15% of patients with dysphagia EoE presents a diagnostic challenge because eosinophils are also feature acid-induced esophagitis.The aim this study was to evaluate prospectively presence eosinophilic and lymphocytic in typical gastroesophageal r...

BACKGROUND Primary eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, a spectrum of inflammatory conditions, occurs when eosinophils selectively infiltrate the gut in the absence of known causes for such tissue eosinophilia. These may be classified into eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis and eosinophilic colitis (EC). This review focuses on EC: its pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical...

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) was first described over 50 years ago. Despite its long history, it remains an ill-defined and poorly understood entity. EG can present in a number of ways, none of which are exclusive to the disorder. EG has features of allergy and immune dysregulation but does not clearly fit into the category of allergic or immune disorder. While EG has been reported to affe...

Eosinophilic gastritis is an extremely rare disorder. The disease is associated with eosinophilic infiltration of various layers of gastrointestinal tract along with significant peripheral eosinophilia and increased Immunoglobulin E (IgE). We report a case of 37 year old Saudi male who presented with chronic non-specific upper abdominal pain. On initial workup, the diagnosis was missed. However...

We report a case of 13-year-old boy suggested as eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG). He was admitted about fifteen months ago with abdominal pain and diarrhea. Laboratory test revealed remarkable elevation of eosinophilic count. Computed tomography and ultrasonography revealed thickness of the intestine and ascites. Upper and lower endoscopy findings were almost normal, and biopsy specimens did ...

Genomic islands (GIs) are genomic regions that are originally transferred from other organisms. The detection of genomic islands in genomes can lead to many applications in industrial, medical and environmental contexts. Existing computational tools for GI detection suffer either low recall or low precision, thus leaving the room for improvement. In this paper, we report the development of our ...
