Eosinophilic gastroenteritis in extreme allergy. Immunopathological comparison with nonallergic gastrointestinal disease.

Intestinal mucosal biopsy immunoglobulin content in a patient with eosinophilia, allergic gastroenteropathy (atopy, food sensitivities, protein-losing enteropathy, iron deficiency anemia, and growth retardation), and hyperimmunoglobulinemia E (68,000 units) was compared with that of a control group and a group with eosinophilic gastroenteritis who had no atopic features. The patient had no evidence of cellular or humoral immunodeficiency but was severely hypersensitive to multiple inhalant and dietary allergens. In contrast to the findings in patients with nonallergic eosinophilic gastroenteritis, whose intestinal immunoglobulin content was similar to that of controls, tissue immunoglobulin IgE and IgG was markedly increased in the allergic patient. These results support an intestinal reaginic mechanism in the etiology of the allergic form of eosinophilic gastroenteritis.

Diagnosis of "rheumatoid variants" ankylosing spondylitis, the arthritides of gastrointestinal diseases and psoriasis, and Reiter's syndrome.

Four rheumatic diseases-ankylosing spondylitis, the arthritis accompanying ulcerative colitis or regional enteritis, psoriatic arthropathy, and Reiter's syndrome-formerly considered to be forms of rheumatoid arthritis, are now distinguished from that disorder and should be recognized by the physician as entities. These arthritides may be distinguished from each other by a number of clinical and radiographic characteristics, principally (1) the roentgenographic appearance of the spine when spondylitis is present, (2) the location of periosteal new bone formation, (3) the location of arthritis in the joints of the limbs, and (4) the presence of characteristic skin lesions.
