  2. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_gastroenteritis

    Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG or EGE), also known as eosinophilic enteritis, [1] is a rare and heterogeneous condition characterized by patchy or diffuse eosinophilic infiltration of gastrointestinal (GI) tissue, first described by Kaijser in 1937.

  3. Enteritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteritis

    For treating eosinophilic gastroenteritis, the main treatment is usually a corticosteroid medication, as these have been shown to have good efficacy in managing eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Other treatments include modifying diets to avoid food allergies, azathioprine and antibodies, including mepolizumab, omalizumab, infliximab, and ...

  4. Enteropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteropathy

    An incompletely defined syndrome of inflammation related to the quality of the environment. Signs and symptoms include reduced absorptive capacity and reduced intestinal barrier function of the small intestine. It is widespread among children and adults in low- and middle-income countries.

  5. Ileitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ileitis

    When it comes to ileitis, the majority of cases are caused by an acute, self-limited form of lower right quadrant pain and/or diarrhea.However, other conditions, such as M. tuberculosis or vasculitis, can cause chronic, debilitating symptoms that are complicated by hemorrhage, obstructive symptoms, and/or extraintestinal manifestations.

  6. Autoimmune enteropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_enteropathy

    Without treatment mortality rates of autoimmune enteropathy are as high as 30%. [8] Many factors such as the need for parenteral nutrition, [61] age of presentation, and the severity of symptoms can impact long-term outcomes. [3] No one treatment has been proven successful in all cases and relapses are common. [4]

  7. Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_protein-induced_enter...

    Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a systemic, non IgE-mediated food allergy to a specific trigger within food, most likely food protein.In its acute form, FPIES presents with vomiting that typically begins 1 to 4 hours after trigger food ingestion, alongside paleness of the skin, lethargy, and potentially blood-tinged diarrhea.

  8. Eosinophilic esophagitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_esophagitis

    Eosinophilic esophagitis was first described in children but also occurs in adults. The condition is poorly understood, but food allergy may play a significant role. [4] The treatment may consist of removing known or suspected triggers and medication to suppress the immune response.

  9. Eosinophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilia

    Based on their causes, hypereosinophilias can be sorted into subtypes. However, cases of eosinophilia, which exhibit eosinophil counts between 500 and 1,500/μL, may fit the clinical criteria for, and thus be regarded as falling into, one of these hypereosinophilia categories: the cutoff of 1,500/μL between hypereosinophilia and eosinophilia is somewhat arbitrary.
