Eosinophils and allergic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2008
The association between increased tissue eosinophilia and allergic disease is particularly striking in the case of the gastrointestinal tract. About 80% of individuals with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are atopic, while half of the patients with gastrointestinal allergy show tissue eosinophilia.

[Eosinophilic oesophagitis and eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases].

Therapeutische Umschau. Revue therapeutique, 2023
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) was first described as an orphan disease in the 1990s, but its incidence and prevalence has increased dramatically in the last 20 years. EoE is now the most common cause of dysphagia in young adulthood. EoE is diagnosed endoscopically (with biopsies taken from the oesophagus).

Benralizumab Completely Depletes Gastrointestinal Tissue Eosinophils and Improves Symptoms in Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease

The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, 2022
Previous studies of targeted eosinophil biologics in eosinophilic esophagitis have yielded mixed results. Possible explanations include incomplete eosinophil depletion with anticytokine (anti-IL-5) treatments and/or irreversible fibrotic tissue changes contributing to symptomatology.To characterize the therapeutic effect of eosinophil depletion in ...

Eosinophilic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2010
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are a diverse group of disorders whose diagnosis is on the rise and are characterized by symptoms caused by infiltration by eosinophils of the different sections of the digestive tract. Although little is known of their etiology, it seems to be multifactorial.

Eosinophilic ascites and eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases

European Annals of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
Background. Eosinophilic ascites (EA) is characterised by a high eosinophil count in the ascitic fluid and, although very rare, is mainly caused by eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs), parasitic infections, and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES).

Classification of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases

Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2008
Diagnosis of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases is based on morphological evaluation with regard to localization and density of eosinophil infiltration of the mucosa and/or deeper parts of the oesophagus, stomach, and bowel in biopsy or resection specimens. As with eosinophils in any tissue, in the majority of diseases they are probably a sequel of

Epithelial Function in Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2009
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are characterized by a wide variety of gastrointestinal symptoms that occur in conjunction with increased numbers of eosinophils in intestinal tissues. With the precise role or roles of eosinophils in gastrointestinal dysfunction incompletely understood, this subject remains an area of intense ...

Histopathology of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases Beyond Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGID), such as eosinophilic gastritis (EoG), eosinophilic enteritis, and eosinophilic colitis (EoC), are chronic inflammatory conditions characterized by persistent gastrointestinal symptoms and elevated levels of activated eosinophils in the gastrointestinal tract.

The role of the eosinophil in gastrointestinal diseases

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1995
The infiltration of eosinophils into sites of active inflammation is seen in a number of gastrointestinal diseases. The precise role of the eosinophil in the pathophysiology of these disease processes, however, has not been elucidated. This review discusses some of the gastrointestinal conditions associated with eosinophilia, presents recent evidence ...
