Esophagitis
Abstract
We report the case of a patient who was diagnosed with Saccharomyces oesophagitis. The clinical picture was indistinguishable from that of Candida oesophagitis. The Saccharomyces isolate was shown to be susceptible to fluconazole by both CLSI M27-A and disk diffusion methods. In contrast to cases of...

Abstract
Most UC patients have no upper gastrointestinal inflammation in biopsies, and most of the inflammations they have are not unique. The most common upper gastrointestinal inflammatory pattern in patients with UC is focal gastritis, followed by gastric basal mixed inflammation and superficial plasmacyt...

Abstract
In total, 37 patients fulfilled diagnostic criteria for EOE. The mean duration of symptoms before the diagnosis was 4 years (range 4 months-30 years) and 14 patients (38%) remained undiagnosed until the time of study. Reasons for diagnostic failure and delay included: delayed request for endoscopy i...

Abstract
Pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis is an inflammatory condition associated with marked eosinophil accumulation in the mucosal tissues of the esophagus. Eosinophils are major proinflammatory cells thought to make a major contribution to allergic diseases that affect the upper and lower airways, skin...

Abstract
We have identified local mastocytosis and mast cell degranulation in the esophagi of patients with EE; identified an esophageal mast cell-associated transcriptome that is significantly divergent from the eosinophil-associated transcriptome, with carboxypeptidase A3 mRNA levels serving as the best ma...

Abstract
Eosinophils are multifunctional leukocytes that increase in various tissues in patients with a variety of disorders. Locally, they can be involved in the initiation and propagation of diverse inflammatory responses. In this review the clinical association of eosinophils with diseases of the skin, lu...

All 10 patients had long-segment but variable-length narrowing of the thoracic esophagus (mean length, 15.4 cm) with tapered margins. The mean diameter at the aortic arch, carina, and one vertebral body above the gastroesophageal junction was 13.9, 14.3, and 15.1 mm, respectively, for patients with...

Abstract
In this study, 3 polymorphisms of IGF genes were associated with EAC or its precursors. These polymorphisms may be markers of disease risk; independent validation of our findings is required. These results suggest the IGF pathway is involved in EAC development.

Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, eosinophil-predominant inflammatory condition that can affect esophageal mucosa at any age. Distinguished from gastroesophageal reflux disease in the mid 1990's, it has seemed to be increasingly prevalent, and is usually a manifestation of food allergy. T...

Abstract
Our systematic review does not reveal an inordinate frequency of esophageal perforation from dilation in patients with EoE, and it is not clear that dilation is any more hazardous for patients with EoE than for patients with other causes of esophageal stricture. Although esophageal dilation must be...

Abstract
CONTEXT: Although the healthy esophageal mucosa contains no eosinophils, eosinophilic infiltration is observed in 2 major clinicopathologic settings: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). The prevalence of EE is increasing in many countries, and this increase seem...

Abstract
Sixty-three patients underwent endoscopy. Eighteen had dysphagia related to an esophageal stricture needing dilation and were subsequently excluded from the analysis. Forty-five patients (26 girls) with a median age of 7.3 years (range 0.4 to 17.9 years) were evaluated. Twenty-six patients (58%) wer...

Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic clinicopathological entity characterized by large numbers of intraepithelial eosinophils infiltrating the esophageal mucosa, which is not caused by gastroesophageal reflux.
