Article Abstract

Acute herpes simplex esophagitis (HSE) is common in immunocompromised patients. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by immune-mediated eosinophil-predominant esophageal inflammation. We report a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection who presented with dysphagia and odynophagia and was found to have HSE and EoE. The combination of these two relatively rare conditions suggests possible predisposition.

For eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), the most well researched of the eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs), there is a plethora of knowledge for its diagnosis and management; however, much less guidance is available for the non-EoE EGIDs. Efforts have been made to characterize the clinical features, epidemiology, diagnosis, and natural history of EGIDs, as the frequency of the non-EoE EGIDs has continued to rise. The diagnosis of the different non-EoE EGIDs, eosinophilic gastritis, enteritis, and colitis, can be challenging because of their rarity and heterogeneous presentations which can lead to delayed diagnosis and poor health-related quality of life in affected patients.

Background: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are chronic inflammatory disorders characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pediatric EGIDs in Korea based on the newly established nomenclature and diagnostic guidelines.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on pediatric patients (0-18 years) with GI symptoms who underwent upper and lower GI endoscopy at five tertiary hospitals in Korea (2010∼2023).

Background: Cognitive and psychological inflexibility are two mental processes that influence how a person interprets and responds to esophageal symptoms. Patients with greater mental inflexibility are at risk for poorer outcomes. Brain-gut behavioral therapies (BGBT) are effective adjunctive treatments in many digestive diseases, with potential to improve mental flexibility.
