Abstract

There is increasing evidence about the involvement of eosinophils in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. We report here two patients with ulcerative colitis who were initially diagnosed as eosinophilic colitis based on histopathological examination during their first attacks. They had symptomatic improvement with ketotifen and metronidazole during their first attacks. However, subsequent attacks which were histopathologically diagnosed as ulcerative colitis did not resolve with the above-mentioned treatment and necessitated a treatment with 5-ASA agents plus corticosteroids. Azathioprine also had to be added in the treatment of the second patient. Dense eosinophilic infiltration in these cases may suggest a role of eosinophils in the initiation of attacks in some ulcerative colitis patients.

Özet

Eozinofillerin inflamatuar barsak hastalığı patogenezinde yer aldıklarına dair kanıtlar artmaktadır. Bu yazıda ilk atakları sırasında histopatolojik olarak eozinofilik kolit tanısı alan iki ülseratif kolit vakası sunulmaktadır. Hastalar ilk atakları sırasında ketotifen ve metronidazol ile semptomatik düzelme göstermişlerdir. Bununla beraber sonraki ataklarda histopatolojik olarak ülseratif kolit tanısı konmuş ve yukarıda belirtilen tedaviden yarar görmemişlerdir. Sağaltımlarında 5-ASA ve kortikosteroid kullanımı gerekli olmuştur, ikinci vakada tedaviye azathioprin de eklenmesi zorunlu olmuştur. Bu vakalardaki yoğun eozinofil infiltrasyonu ülseratif kolit vakalarının bir kısmında atakların ortaya çıkmasında eozinofillerin rolü olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
