    eosinophilia in a patient with cyclical vomiting a case report Billy H Copeland , Omolola Aramide , Salim Wehbe , S. Matthew Fitzgerald and Guha Krishnaswamy

    Extractions: Background Eosinophilic gastritis is related to eosinophilic gastroenteritis, varying only in regards to the extent of disease and small bowel involvement. Common symptoms reported are similar to our patient's including: abdominal pain, epigastric pain, anorexia, bloating, weight loss, diarrhea, ankle edema, dysphagia, melaena and postprandial nausea and vomiting. Microscopic features of eosinophilic infiltration usually occur in the lamina propria or submucosa with perivascular aggregates. The disease is likely mediated by eosinophils activated by various cytokines and chemokines. Therapy centers around the use of immunosuppressive agents and dietary therapy if food allergy is a factor. Case presentation The patient is a 31 year old Caucasian female with a past medical history significant for ulcerative colitis. She presented with recurrent bouts of vomiting, abdominal pain and chest discomfort of 11 months duration. The bouts of vomiting had been reoccurring every 7-10 days, with each episode lasting for 1-3 days. This was associated with extreme weakness and cachexia. Gastric biopsies revealed intense eosinophilic infiltration. The patient responded to glucocorticoids and azathioprine. The differential diagnosis and molecular pathogenesis of eosinophilic gastritis as well as the molecular effects of glucocorticoids in eosinophilic disorders are discussed.

    Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome is associated with the ingestion of large amounts of contaminated L-tryptophan, a dietary supplement often sold in health food stores. The contaminant remains unknown. It is a disease of abrupt onset causing severe, disabling, chronic muscle pain, skin symptoms and other neurotoxic reactions . Diagnosis is not easy and depends on finding unusually high levels of eosinophils (circulating white blood cells) over a period of at least six months. Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome may make its presense known only weeks, months, or even years after the original period of high-volume consumption of L-tryptophan. L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid present in most foods. However, when it is purchased as a "health food", people often take doses much higher than would be present in the normal diet. The disorder is characterized by large amounts of eosinophils (white blood cells) in the blood. The primary symptom is severe muscle pain and weakness. There may also be associated ulcers of the mouth or other mucous membranes. Sore throat, difficulty breathing (dyspnea), swollen liver and abdomen, abdominal pain, and fever may also be present.

    eosinophilia. eosinophilia refers to a group of conditions that cause abnormally high levels of eosinophils to develop in either the blood or body tissues.

    Extractions: Adult Medicine General Health Acne Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia ... Information Eosinophilia Basic Information Eosinophilia refers to a group of conditions that cause abnormally high levels of eosinophils to develop in either the blood or body tissues. An eosinophil is a kind of white blood cell. These white blood cells are manufactured in the bone marrow, and then transferred into the bloodstream and the gut lining. When the body is functioning in a normal manner, eosinophils are very beneficial. In fact, whenever the immune system recognizes that it is under attack by parasitic organisms, the body begins mass producing eosinophils in order to combat the infection. In most cases, once the parasite has been removed, the level of eosinophils in the bloodstream is allowed to return to normal. However, in some situations, the body keeps on producing eosinophils at a high rate, allowing them to accumulate in the blood and tissues. This build-up of eosinophils ultimately leads to body damage. There are many different reasons why the body increases its production of eosinophils. The most common reason is to fight off parasitic infections. However, overproduction of these white blood cells can also occur in response to allergic disease, chemical poisoning, recent blood transfusion, or exposure to nickel. Each one of these causative agents seems to be responsible for a different type of eosinophilia.

35. FDA/CFSAN "Dear Colleague" Letter On L-Tryptophan And Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndr
    US Food and Drug Administration Office of Health Affairs January 17, 1990. Dear Colleague letter on LTryptophan and eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome.  
    http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ds-ltr1.html
    
    Extractions: L-Tryptophan and Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome Dear Colleague: We are writing to provide you with important information about a strong association between the consumption of L-tryptophan and a cluster of symptoms called Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome (EMS). Analysis by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) of case reports received over recent months has shown a virtually unequivocal link between the consumption of L-tryptophan tablets or capsules and EMS. FDA has, therefore, instituted a nationwide recall of all over-the-counter dietary supplements in capsule or tablet form providing for 100 milligrams (mg) or more of L-tryptophan in a daily dose. Dietary supplements providing for less than 100 mg. will remain on the market pending further evaluation. As explained below, the scientific explanation for the risk with L-tryptophan use is not yet fully understood, but we believe it is important to communicate to you what is currently know. Physicians and other health professionals may also find useful our background information on EMS symptoms and on the regulatory status of L-tryptophan products at this time. We will inform you of any major changes in these matters as they occur. Background As of January 12, 1990, state health departments had reported 1,070 EMS cases to CDC. In at least one case, a patient with L-tryptophan-induced EMS died of an ascending polyneuropathy. L-tryptophan-induced EMS may have played a role in six other deaths; this is under investigation.

36. FDA/CFSAN "Dear Colleague" Letter Regarding The Research On Eosinophilia-Myalgia
    Dear Colleague letter regarding the Research on eosinophiliaMyalgia Syndrome and Current Regulatory Status of L-Tryptophan. Dear Colleague  
    http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ds-ltr3.html
    
    Extractions: Current Regulatory Status of L-Tryptophan Dear Colleague: LT Recall and Import Alert Our first letter regarding this subject, dated January 17, 1990, identified the association between LT consumption and EMS and advised you of the recall of capsules and tablets providing 100 milligrams of LT or greater. On February 2, 1990, FDA notified you regarding an expansion of the recall to include all dietary supplements containing "manufactured, added" LT. On March 22, 1990, FDA also imposed an Important Alert prohibiting the importation of manufactured LT, which included all forms in bulk, and LT as a single ingredient or major ingredient of tablets, capsules, caplets, liquids or powders into the United States without prior FDA approval. An exception is provided for LT used for special dietary purposes (see page 4). Because all of the LT sold in the U.S. was produced elsewhere, the net effect of the recall and Import Alert has been a ban on most oral dosage forms of LT. Health professionals should be aware that although LT is not on the U.S. market, FDA and CDC have confirmed reports within the past year of persons who have become ill after consuming LT obtained through illegal means. LT as a Component of "Health Foods" FDA has received numerous reports from consumers concerned that LT is still on the market in the form of "sports" formulas, weight gain products and protein supplements. Many of these products display the amino acid content on the label in an amino acid profile. FDA has investigated these reports and invariably found the source of LT, as well as other amino acids, to be intact animal or plant proteins which may or may not be hydrolyzed to free amino acids. LT typically comprises about 1.6% of the total weight of amino acids in these products. No case of EMS has definitively been associated with any of these products, although several are under investigation.
