The condition is characterised by an increased proportion of lymphocytes in the epithelium of the duodenum, usually when this is greater than 20–25 per 100 enterocytes. [1] Intra-epithelial lymphocyte (IEL) are normally present in intestine and numbers are normally greater in the crypts and in the jejunum ; these are distinct from those found ...

Reported symptoms of NCGS are similar to those of celiac disease, [30] [31] with most patients reporting both gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal symptoms. [29] [32] In the "classical" presentation of NCGS, gastrointestinal symptoms are similar to those of irritable bowel syndrome, and are also not distinguishable from those of wheat allergy, but there is a different interval between ...
In adults, absolute lymphocytosis is present when the lymphocyte count is greater than 5000 per microliter (5.0 x 10 9 /L), in older children greater than 7000 per microliter and in infants greater than 9000 per microliter. [1] Lymphocytes normally represent 20% to 40% of circulating white blood cells. When the percentage of lymphocytes exceeds ...
The percentage of individuals with lymphocytic esophagitis is uncertain. [1] Early studies indicated that the prevalence was 0.1% in adults. [3] However, reports in children indicate a higher prevalence of 8.5%, [10] perhaps suggestive of incidental findings of lymphocytes in endoscopies performed for other reasons. [1]
Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma (DFL) is a form of lymphoma in which certain lymphocyte types, the B-cell-derived centrocytes and centroblasts, form lymph node follicle-like structures principally in the duodenum and other parts of the small intestine. It is an indolent disease which on rare occasions progresses to a more aggressive lymphoma ...
The gut-associated lymphoid tissue lies throughout the intestine, covering an area of approximately 260–300 m 2. [5] In order to increase the surface area for absorption, the intestinal mucosa is made up of finger-like projections (), covered by a monolayer of epithelial cells, which separates the GALT from the lumen intestine and its contents.
2. Fulfillment of five out of the eight criteria below: Fever (defined as a temperature >100.3 °F, >38 °C) Enlargement of the spleen; Decreased blood cell counts affecting at least two of three lineages in the peripheral blood: Haemoglobin <9 g/100 ml (in infants <4 weeks: haemoglobin <10 g/100 ml) Platelets <100×10 9 /L (thrombocytopenia)
