A case of acute schistosomiasis with febrile, high peripheral eosinophilia and haematuria is presented as a 28-years-old male tourist traveled to upper Nile in Kenia and Uganda. The patient was successfully treated with praziquantel. Although acute urinary schistosomiasis have been rare in Russian travelers this should not be discounted in patients with febrile, high peripheral eosinophilia and haematuria returning from tropical countries. Some behavior habits regarding acquiring of infection are discussed.

Clonorchis sinensis, a trematode prevalent in East Asia, causes hepatobiliary infection. Exposure typically occurs through ingestion of raw or undercooked fish containing the encysted larval form of the parasite. Extrahepatobiliary disease has not commonly been described. In this case report, we describe an unusual case of C. sinensis infection associated with eosinophilic pneumonia. A middle-aged man from China presented with subacute cough and was found to have a bilateral diffuse eosinophilic pneumonia with associated peripheral eosinophilia. Stool microscopy revealed C. sinensis eggs, and the patient improved after treatment with prednisone and praziquantel. Pulmonary clonorchiasis should be considered in patients with eosinophilic pneumonia from areas highly endemic for this pathogen.

Pediatric Age Group

Intense infiltration of gastrointestinal and colonic mucosa with eosinophils or acidophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is a relatively uncommon picture for a pathologist endoscopist especially outside the pediatric age group and is highly suggestive of an ongoing chronic inflammatory process. Existing literature projected a hypothetical association with allergy but the exact pathophysiology is still unknown. Association with malabsorption, protein losing enteropathy, and refractory ulcers with gastrointestinal bleeding makes the clinical presentation more complicated. We present a unique case of diarrhea and abdominal pain in the clinical presentation with associated peripheral eosinophilia, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The patient's symptoms abated after initiation of budesonide.

Work Up

An 11-year-old boy with eosinophilic gastroenteritis treated by an elimination diet alone presented with a perforated gastroduodenal ulcer subsequent to blunt trauma to the abdomen. Peripheral eosinophilia, chronic iron deficiency, chronic hypoalbuminemia and severe failure to thrive had been present since age 2 years. Immunological work-up revealed food allergies, documented by skin tests. A review of the literature since 1966 revealed only six other cases of perforation of the gastrointestinal tract, one of whom was also a child.

Kimura’s disease is an uncommon inflammatory disorder of unclear aetiology, mainly affecting young Asian descent males among their second and fourth decades of life. The disease typically emerges as a long-standing and painless subcutaneous mass lesion in the head and neck region, frequently associated with swelling of major salivary glands, particularly the parotid gland, and regional lymphadenopathy. Peripheral eosinophilia and high serum immunoglobulin E are also characteristic findings. We report a case and describe the imaging and pathological features of the disease in a 19-year-old Caucasian male, with review of the literature.

BackgroundEosinophilic gastroenteritis (EoG) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by patchy or diffuse eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract wall. As clinical presentation and endoscopic/ radiological findings are nonspecific, diagnosis may only be ascertained by histologic findings.Clinical case This article presents a case of EoG with associated colonic involvement but without peripheral eosinophilia. Although no allergy could be demonstrated, the clinical symptoms and histologic pattern of diffuse eosinophilic mucosal infiltration disappeared after steroid therapy, as discovered by a careful endoscopic follow-up.Discussion Current concepts of this complex disorder and a review of the literature are presented.

Strongyloidiasis is a helminthic disease which affects millions around the world resulting in a significant burden in certain high risk groups. It is rarely reported in the Lebanese population probably due to the low index of suspicion in common practice. We are reporting a case of strongyloidiasis that was found in an elderly patient presenting initially with dyspnea followed by skin rash, protein loosing enteropathy, diarrhea, and abdominal pain while on corticosteroid therapy. The diagnosis was suspected based on clinical presentation in addition to peripheral eosinophilia. We will also describe the upper and lower endoscopic aspects of the disease, as well as histologic findings on duodenal and colonic biopsies.

Purpose We conducted a systematic review of the literature regarding adult telepractice services (screening, assessment, and treatment) from approximately 2014 to 2019. Method Thirty-one relevant studies were identified from a literature search, assessed for quality, and reported. Results Included studies illustrated feasibility, efficacy, diagnostic accuracy, and noninferiority of various speech-language pathology services across adult populations, including chronic aphasia, Parkinson's disease, dysphagia, and primary progressive aphasia. Technical aspects of the equipment and software used to deliver services were discussed. Some general themes were noted as areas for future research. Conclusion Overall, results of the review continue to support the use of telepractice as an appropriate service delivery model in speech-language pathology for adults. Strong research designs, including experimental control, across multiple well-described settings are still needed to definitively determine effectiveness of telepractice services.
