ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a disorder characterised by oesophageal dysfunction and, histologically, by eosinophilic inflammation. Although treatment, which includes dilatations, oral corticosteroids and restrictive diets, is often effective, choosing the foods to be eliminated from the diet is difficult.OBJECTIVE:
Component resolved diagnostic by microarray allergen assay may be useful in detecting allergens that might be involved in the inflammatory process.METHODS:
We studied 67 patients with EoE, diagnosed clinically and histologically by endoscopic biopsy. CRD analysis with microarray technology was carried out in the 67 EoE patients, 50 patients with pollen allergy without digestive symptoms, and 50 healthy controls.RESULTS:
Allergies were not detected by microarray in only seven of the 67 patients with EoE. Controls with pollen allergy showed sensitisation to different groups of pollen proteins without significant differences. In EoE patients with response to some allergens, the predominant allergens were grasses group 1 and, in particular, nCyn d 1 (Cynodon dactylon) or Bermuda grass pollen in 59.5%, followed by lipid transfer proteins (LTP) of peach (19.40%), hazelnut (17.91%) and Artemisia (19.40%)RESUMEN
