Background: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are the rare gastrointestinal disorders. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases with overall gastrointestinal tract involvement causing liver abscess in an older patient.
Case Presentation: We report a 68-year-old man with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease with overall gastrointestinal tract involvement. He was admitted with suspected acute gastroenteritis, and histological examination showed eosinophilic infiltration accompanied by liver abscess. The collected pus was tested for Metagenomics Next-Generation Sequencing and confirmed the presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Conclusions: We conducted a literature review on the complications of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases and discussed how eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases lead to liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Objective: Advancing the understanding of the pathophysiology of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) and other eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) has spurred research into targeted biological therapies, while the conclusive therapeutic efficacy of biologics remains uncertain. In this review, we conducted a meta-analysis of all RCTS of biologics in the treatment of EoE to evaluate their efficacy and safety and discussed their treatment of non-EoE EGIDs.
Methods: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease occasionally associated with abdominal symptoms and IBD. We aimed to characterize intestinal immune cells and the integrity of the intestinal barrier in psoriasis. Biopsies from the duodenum and colon were analyzed by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry for the presence and activation status of different immune cell populations.
