eosinophilic esophagitis/vomiting

The following report describes two patients who had chronic symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux and persistent histological esophagitis, despite aggressive medical antireflux therapy, who continued to have esophagitis and remained symptomatic post antireflux surgery (Nissen fundoplication). Both

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical, endoscopic, and histologic criteria that distinguish children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) from those with non-EE diagnoses. BACKGROUND EE is a disease of escalating incidence. Distinguishing children with EE from those with non-EE diagnosis can be

BACKGROUND Current treatments of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), including restrictive diets or glucocorticoids, provide only transient improvement. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use in EoE does not lead to histologic improvement; however, the long-term use of PPI on symptoms and prevention of

OBJECTIVE Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in adults, characterized by the triad of dysphagia, a ringed esophagus, and mucosal eosinophilic infiltration, has associated complications that include vertical mucosal lacerations, instrumental perforation, and emesis-induced rupture. The aim of this study

Background and study aims Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune disease with increasing incidence. It is clinically defined by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and histologically by eosinophilic polynuclear cell infiltration of the esophageal mucosa. Symptoms are not specific

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is a recently recognized form of pan-esophagitis, which is characterized by the presence of at least 15 eosinophils per high power field on esophageal histology. EE is closely associated with atopic disorders and occurs predominantly in male patients. Young children are

OBJECTIVE (1) To describe the incidence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the population of patients undergoing esophagoscopy with biopsy by a pediatric otolaryngology service. (2) To elucidate the demographics, presenting symptoms, and endoscopic findings in children with EoE. METHODS Case

BACKGROUND To understand the clinical characteristics and the diagnostic procedures in pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitis and to evaluate the sensitivity of the patients to food and inhalant allergens. A cross-sectional study was performed in 35 children with eosinophilic esophagitis

Recent consensus guidelines define eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) as a chronic, immune/antigen-mediated esophageal disease characterized clinically by symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction and histologically by eosinophil-predominant inflammation. Adults with EoE typically present with

Background and Objective. Despite the extensive reporting of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) from industrialized developed countries, reports from developing countries are rare. The aim of our study was to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and endoscopic features of EoE and response to therapy

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an immune-mediated clinicopathological condition characterized by esophageal infiltration with eosinophils resulting in chronic inflammation and stricture.
