Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic disorder characterized by eosinophilic inflammation of the oesophagus triggered by food allergens and possibly aeroallergens. We present a boy with the diagnosis of EoE at the age of 4 years and the disease responded to topical steroids. When he turned 7 years old he had the concomitant diagnose of grass pollen allergy. A clear difference between both histological (October 2019: 0 eosinophils (Eo's)/High Power Field (HPF), April 2022: 80 Eo's/ HPF) and clinical signs (October 2019: pediatric eoe symptom score (PEESS) 3/100, April 2022: PEESS 31/100) is evident when comparing winter to spring. The boy is currently only using topical budesonide during grass pollen season. There are increasing arguments in favour of aeroallergens as a trigger for EoE. This information is important for determining the timing of endoscopic follow-up. And it may be beneficial to consider upgrading treatment during allergy season, or exclusively administering treatment during allergy season.
期刊介绍：
The Journal Acta Gastro-Enterologica Belgica principally publishes peer-reviewed original manuscripts, reviews, letters to editors, book reviews and guidelines in the field of clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, including digestive oncology, digestive pathology, as well as nutrition. Pure animal or in vitro work will not be considered for publication in the Journal. Translational research papers (including sections of animal or in vitro work) are considered by the Journal if they have a clear relationship to or relevance for clinical hepato-gastroenterology (screening, disease mechanisms and/or new therapies). Case reports and clinical images will be accepted if they represent an important contribution to the description, the pathogenesis or the treatment of a specific gastroenterology or liver problem. The language of the Journal is English. Papers from any country will be considered for publication. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal should not have been published previously (in English or any other language), nor should they be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Unsolicited papers are peer-reviewed before it is decided whether they should be accepted, rejected, or returned for revision. Manuscripts that do not meet the presentation criteria (as indicated below) will be returned to the authors. Papers that go too far beyond the scope of the journal will be also returned to the authors by the editorial board generally within 2 weeks. The Journal reserves the right to edit the language of papers accepted for publication for clarity and correctness, and to make formal changes to ensure compliance with AGEB’s style. Authors have the opportunity to review such changes in the proofs.
