Definition

Eosinophilic infiltration of one or more gastrointestinal organs. Gastrointestinal eosinophilia is a broad term for abnormal eosinophil accumulation in the GI tract, involving many different disease identities. These diseases include primary eosinophil associated gastrointestinal diseases, gastrointestinal eosinophilia in HES and all gastrointestinal eosinophilic states associated with known causes. Each of these diseases has its unique features but there is no absolute boundary between them. [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

Autoimmune enteropathy and endocrinopathy - susceptibility to chronic infections syndrome
MedGen UID:
481620
Concept ID:
C3279990
Disease or Syndrome
IMD31C is a disorder of immunologic dysregulation with highly variable manifestations resulting from autosomal dominant gain-of-function mutations in STAT1 (600555). Most patients present in infancy or early childhood with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). Other highly variable features include recurrent bacterial, viral, fungal, and mycoplasmal infections, disseminated dimorphic fungal infections, enteropathy with villous atrophy, and autoimmune disorders, such as hypothyroidism or diabetes mellitus. A subset of patients show apparently nonimmunologic features, including osteopenia, delayed puberty, and intracranial aneurysms. Laboratory studies show increased activation of gamma-interferon (IFNG; 147570)-mediated inflammation (summary by Uzel et al., 2013 and Sampaio et al., 2013).
Hyper-IgE syndrome 6, autosomal dominant, with recurrent infections
MedGen UID:
1851769
Concept ID:
C5848786
Disease or Syndrome
Hyper-IgE syndrome-6 with recurrent infections (HIES6) is an autosomal dominant immunologic disorder characterized by early-childhood onset of severe refractory atopic dermatitis, IgE-mediated food and drug allergies, asthma, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Laboratory studies show increased serum IgE levels and eosinophilia. Affected individuals are susceptible to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Additional features may include allergic rhinitis, recurrent secondary infections (bacterial, viral, fungal), and short stature. Rare patients show intracerebral vascular abnormalities, including the Circle of Willis, increased risk of ruptured aneurysm, and B-cell lymphoma. The disorder results from immune dysregulation with inappropriate activation of inflammatory signaling pathways associated with a Th2 phenotype. Treatment with an IL4 (147780)/IL13 (147683) inhibitor (dupilumab) or JAK inhibitor results in clinical improvement. Sharma et al. (2023) classified this disease as a 'primary atopic disorder' (PAD). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of hyper-IgE syndrome, see HIES1 (147060).
