Strongyloidiasis - the most neglected of the neglected tropical diseases? [PDF]
Soil-transmitted helminths of the genus Strongyloides (S. fuelleborni and the more prevalent S. stercoralis) are currently believed to infect an estimated 30-100 million people worldwide. The health consequences of S.

Gastric biopsies with prominent eosinophils: Clinicopathologic features and response to therapy
The use of the term ‘histologic eosinophilic gastritis’ (EoG) has been proposed for cases with ≥30 eosinophils/high power field (HPF) in five separate HPF and with no known associated causes of eosinophilia; however, these criteria can miss cases with clinically significant eosinophilia and our study results argue against using this term for pathology ...
