Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders are characterized by eosinophilic infiltration and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract in the absence of previously identified causes of eosinophilia, such as parasitic infections, malignancy, collagen vascular diseases, drug sensitivities, and inflammatory bowel disease. These disorders include eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, eosinophilic enteritis, and eosinophilic colitis. This article focuses mainly on eosinophilic esophagitis and eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠疾病的特征是在没有先前确定的嗜酸性粒细胞增多原因(如寄生虫感染、恶性肿瘤、胶原血管疾病、药物敏感性和炎症性肠病)的情况下,胃肠道出现嗜酸性粒细胞浸润和炎症。这些疾病包括嗜酸性粒细胞性食管炎、嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠炎、嗜酸性粒细胞性小肠炎和嗜酸性粒细胞性结肠炎。本文主要关注嗜酸性粒细胞性食管炎和嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠炎。
