A retrospective study of enteroclysis in patients with manifest food allergy

Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are typical findings in enteroclysis of patients suffering from food allergy (FA). Materials and Methods Findings of enteroclysis of 26 FA patients were correlated with results of endoscopic and histologic examinations. In two p...

Description
Summary:Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are typical findings in enteroclysis of patients suffering from food allergy (FA). Materials and Methods Findings of enteroclysis of 26 FA patients were correlated with results of endoscopic and histologic examinations. In two patients allergen provocation was performed during enteroclysis. Results No specific mucosal pathologies were found without provocation. After provocation, low mucosal contrast adhesion was observed. Conclusion Without provocation no specific alterations were found. However, enteroclysis may be used for monitoring of allergen challenge.
