Introduction And Objective: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory immune-mediated oesophageal disease of growing prevalence. The aim of this study is to characterise the clinical symptoms, endoscopic features and histological findings, as well as their possible correlations, in newly-diagnosed EoE paediatric patients.
Material And Methods: Between 2009-2018, the clinical records of patients diagnosed with EoE at the Paediatric Hospital in Warsaw, Poland, were retrospectively reviewed.
Introduction: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is reactivated by the use of immunosuppressive drugs. CMV infection may produce IBD flares refractory to standard therapy.
Objective: The aim of our study was to assess the efficacy and safety of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for the treatment of CMV colitis in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) flare.
Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the immune response rate in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who received the full hepatitis B vaccination course in infancy. We also evaluated rates of response to booster doses.
Material And Methods: Participants were 1- to 18-year-old children with IBD, who received 3 doses of the hepatitis B vaccine in infancy.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated how pediatric (PG) and adult gastroenterologists (AG) in Europe and the UAE diagnose and manage eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), focusing on their adherence to clinical guidelines.
- - Results showed that PG are more likely to take biopsies and perform endoscopic follow-ups compared to AG; they also prefer elimination diets over steroids as a second-line therapy after proton-pump inhibitors fail.
- - The findings highlight significant practice differences between PG and AG, as well as regional variations across countries, suggesting that educational initiatives could help improve alignment with current guidelines.
Patients suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are at increased risk of infections, mainly due to immunosuppressive treatment. Moreover, infections may cause flares of IBD. Vaccination is the most effective way of preventing many infections.
