Editor's Notes
multiple biopsy specimens from the proximal and distal esophagus should be obtained and evaluated for a variety of pathologic features สิ่งที่ pathologist ควรรายงาน Peak eosinophil value (obtained from the area with the highest density of eosinophils), eosinophilic microabscesses, surface layering of eosinophils, extracellular eosinophil granules, basal cell hyperplasia, dilated intercellular spaces, and lamina propria fibrosis
Thus, in adult patients presenting with dysphagia, EoE should be strongly considered in the differential diagnosis.
Esophageal biopsy specimens should be taken to seek histologic evidence of EoE in patients with unexplained dysphagia, even if results of endoscopy appear normal or identify a potential cause of dysphagia other than EoE.
- นอกจาก symptom and endoscopic finding แล้ว Eo count in Esophageal tissue ก็ช่วย Dx EoE But not specific for EoE 100% becoz many other condition can result in signinicant Eo eg. Severe GERD
Extracellular Eo granule : major basic protein deposition, Eosinophil peroxidase, eosinophil derived neurotoxin This eosinophilic degranulation likely plays a role in the development of subepithelial esophageal fibrosis, a long-term complication of EoE, and itself acting as a marker that, if present, also suggests a diagnosis of EoE over GERD
Standardized of the unit of Eo enumeration validated of histologic feature may help to compare btw study and help to distinguish EoE from non EoE
Retrospective analysis 234 children (mean age 7.3 y, median age 7.0 y, and age range 0.2 to 19.5 y)
Tree and grass pollen levels can directly correlate with the numbers of patients given a diagnosis of EoE
1.Distinguishing eosinophilic esophagitis in pediatric patients: clinical, endoscopic, and histologic features of an emerging disorder 2 3 Atopic Characteristics of Adult Patients With Eosinophilic Esophagitis
cross-sectional study of 53 pediatric patients with EE relevant history was obtained by questionnaire, and patch testing to foods Food and inhalant sensitivities were also assessed using skin prick testing and serum specific IgE measurement
Effective, but difficult to adhere, requirement large volumes to meet caloric needs
No randomized, prospective trials yet exist comparing the two elimination methods
SFED treatment associated with clinical and histologic improvement in EE in an observational study. It offers advantages of better acceptance, cost, and compliance than ELED and should be considered as an option in the initial management of children with EE
1. cysteinyl leukotrienes are known eosinophil chemoattractants, One early study reported that montelukast at a dosage of 20 to 40 mg daily resolved symptoms in 6 out of 8 adult patients with EoE, but tissue eosinophilia remained 2. cysteinyl leukotriene levels not to be increased in patients with EoE
