[EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS: MUCH MORE IS UNKNOWN YET THAN DISCOVERED].

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus, which is mediated by Th2 cells that could start at any age, from early childhood to adulthood. The pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood, but apparently it consists of a combined interaction between hereditary and environmental factors. Over the years, EoE has become an increasingly diagnosed disease in the context of esophageal symptoms.

EPSTEIN-BARR virus pneumonitis in a immunocompetent young adult.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common human Herpesvirus with worldwide distribution. Primary EBV infection usually occurs early in life and typically presents as infectious mononucleosis consisting of fever, pharyngitis, hepatosplenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy. Usually, the disease course is benign and most patients recover uneventfully without any consequent sequel.

Factors Predicting Type I Gastric Neuroendocrine Neoplasia Recurrence: A Single-Center Study.

Type I gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (gNENs) are associated with atrophic gastritis and have a high recurrence rate, which means frequent endoscopies are required. The objective of this study was to identify factors predicting the local recurrence of type I gNENs. The clinical course and the pathological and biochemical data of patients with type I gNENs treated at Bnai Zion Medical Center between 2006 and 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.

CMV-Related Gastric Ulcer and Gastroduodenitis in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV)- related gastroduodenal infection is rare in immunocompetent hosts, and although it is considered a self-limiting condition in most cases, there is scarce literature to assert its management. . We report a case of a 66-year-old immunocompetent male patient diagnosed with a giant gastric ulcer caused by CMV infection.
