eosinophilic gastroenteritis (ege) is a rare inflammatory disorder of gastrointestinal tract characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall. it can mimic many gastrointestinal disorders due to its wide spectrum of presentations. diagnose is mostly based on excluding other disorders and a high suspicion. here we report a case of 26 year old man with a history of sever epigastric pa...

INTRODUCTION T he eosinophilic gastroenteropathies are an interesting, yet somewhat poorly defined set of disorders that by definition include the infiltration of at least one layer of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with eosinophils. First reported over 50 years ago, the clinical spectrum of these disorders was defined solely by various case reports. As these reports became more frequent, vari...

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...

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders are a group of chronic inflammatory conditions characterised by the presence eosinophilic infiltrates in wall. These include esophagitis, gastritis, gastroenteritis, enteritis, and colitis. Their incidence is increasing, with esophagitis known to be most common form. The etiopathogenesis not fully understood, likely associated an abnormal immune response ...

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder is a rare disorder characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. There are various gastrointestinal manifestations with eosinophilic ascites being the most unusual and rare presentation. Diagnosis requires high index of suspicion and exclusion of various disorders associated with peripheral eosinophilia. There are no previous ca...

Evidence suggests that eosinophils play a significant role in promoting several gastrointestinal diseases, and animal models are the significant tools to understand the pathogenesis of eosinophil-associatd inflammatory disorders. The focus of this review is on the significance of mouse models that mimic the characteristics of human eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. Eosinophils are the imp...

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) are rare conditions characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall and gastrointestinal symptoms. These disorders can present with various manifestations, depending on the specific site of the affected gastrointestinal tract and specific layer of the affected gastrointestinal wall. The pathogenesis and etiology of EGID remain unclear....
