Abstract

Background/aims: Eosinophilic esophagitis is a rare allergic disease of the esophagus with no published data in Turkish children. Methods: This is an observational study of children diagnosed as eosinophilic esophagitis in our hospital between February 2009 and January 2011. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features, allergic work-up, endoscopic and histological findings, and response to treatment. Results: We followed seven patients in this period with a histopathologic diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis. The mean age at diagnosis was 5.05±2.97 years (range: 1-9 years), and four of them were male. The most frequent symptom was gastroesophageal reflux disease-like symptoms (vomiting, regurgitation, and heartburn) (42.9%). Peripheral eosinophilia and high serum total IgE levels were found in four patients (57.2%). Sensitization to food (71.4%) was more frequent than that of aeroallergens (28.6%). Endoscopic findings suggestive of eosinophilic esophagitis were present in four patients (57.2%). Comorbid allergic disease was present in five patients (71.4%). All patients were treated by elimination diet (85.7%) and/or inhaled corticosteroid treatment (71.4%). The mean follow-up period was 12.4±6.1 months (range: 6-24 months). All but one patient showed complete clinical response to their treatment. No significant side effect was observed during the follow-up period. Conclusions: Eosinophilic esophagitis is a rare gastrointestinal allergic disorder frequently comorbid with other allergic diseases and with different manifestations and response profiles to treatment modalities.

Özet

Amaç: Eozinofilik özofajit özofagusun nadir görülen allerjik hastalığıdır. fiu zamana kadar Türk çocuklarında eozinofilik özofajit ile ilgili yayınlanmıfl bir bildiri bulunmamaktadır. Yöntem: Bu gözlemsel çalıflmada eozinofilik özofajit tanısıyla hastanemizde fiubat 2009 ile Ocak 2011 tarihleri arasında izlediğimiz çocuk hastaların klinik özellikleri, endoskopik ve histopatolojik bulguları, allerjik değerlendirmeleri ve tedavi cevapları retrospektif olarak incelenmifltir. Bulgular: ‹ki yıllık süre içinde histopatolojik olarak eozinofilik özofajit tanısı koyduğumuz yedi çocuk olgu izlenmifltir. Olguların ortalama yaflı 5.05±2.97 yıl (aralık; 1-9 yıl) olup dördü erkekti. Gastroözofageal reflü semptomları (kusma, rejürjitasyon, göğüste yanma) en sık görülen baflvuru flikayetiydi (42.9%). Periferik eozinofili ve serum total IgE yüksekliği dörder hastada saptandı (57.2%). Besin duyarlılığı (71.4%), aeroallerjen duyarlı- lığına (28.6%) göre daha sık oranda bulundu. Dört hastada eozinofilik özofajit tanısını destekleyen endoskopik bulgular da mevcuttu (57.2%). Befl hastada ko-morbid allerjik hastalık vardı (71.4%). Hastaların tamamı eliminasyon diyeti (85.7%) ve/veya inhale kortrikosteroidle (71.4%) tedavi edildi. Ortalama izlem süresi 12.4±6.1 ay (aralık: 6-24 ay) idi. Biri hariç tüm hastalarda verilen tedaviye tam klinik yanıt alındı ve önemli bir yan etki gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Eozinofilik özofajit sıklıkla ko-morbid allerjik hastalıkları n efllik ettiği, tedavilere verilen yanıtın ve klinik bulguların farklılıklar gösterebildiği nadir görülen bir allerjik gastrointestinal sistem hastalığıdır.
