Endoscopic Features of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases [PDF]
Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaEndoscopic evaluation with biopsies is a mainstay of the diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and non-EoE eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs). Increasing knowledge has resulted in the development of 2 standardized scoring systems: the Endoscopic REFerence Score (EREFS) for EoE and the EG-REFS for eosinophilic gastritis, although the ...

Biologics in eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. [PDF]
Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol, 2023 Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are a constellation of conditions categorized by the location of eosinophilic infiltration in the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms vary based on location of eosinophils and age of the patient. There are no approved medications at the current time with individuals using off-label steroids or dietary therapy ...

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease below the belt [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2020 Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are rare diseases of the gastrointestinal tract caused by allergic inflammation and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Initially described in 1978, recognition of these disorders has greatly increased over the past several decades. Thus far, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has received the most focus, leading to

Eosinophils, Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Critical Review. [PDF]
J Clin MedBackground/Objectives: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are complex, multifactorial chronic inflammatory disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Their epidemiology, particularly for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), is increasing worldwide, with a rise in the co-diagnosis of IBD and EGIDs.

Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases: The Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment. [PDF]
Intern Med, 2023 Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are delayed-type chronic allergic disorders that show gastrointestinal eosinophil dense infiltration, with an exaggerated Th2-type immune reaction considered to be an important mechanism. These diseases can be roughly divided into two types: eosinophilic esophagitis, mainly found in young and middle-aged men, and ...

Biological therapies for eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. [PDF]
J Allergy Clin Immunol, 2018 The scientific basis and the clinical application of mAb therapies that target specific immunologic pathways for eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are areas of active interest. There is a growing recognition of a subset of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis whose disease does not respond well to topical steroids or elimination diets.
