Introduction:
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an unusual disease characterized by an eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. The esophageal location of this disorder is uncommon and is usually revealed by dysphagia. Diagnosis is obtained by histology during endoscopy after exclusion of differential diagnosis. Treatment is based on systemic corticosteroids, which improve dramatically symptoms and endoscopic lesions.
Case Report:
We report an 88-year-old man who presented eosinophilic gastroenteritis with esophageal injury complicated by gastrointestinal haemorrhage and fistule.
Conclusion:
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis may have a potentially unfavourable outcome. The treatment of complicated forms is not codified and often empirical.

Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
