The mean age was (43±19) years old. The main clinical manifestations included abdominal pain (75.9%), diarrhea (58.6%), and weight loss (44.8%). The median absolute value of white blood cells in peripheral blood of the 29 patients was 7.47(6.66,12.47)×10<sup>9</sup>/L, and the white blood cell count increased in 11 cases (37.9%). The median absolute value of eosinophil was 0.98 (0.21,4.76)×10<sup>9</sup>/L, and the eosinophil counts increased in 18 cases (62.1%). The main endoscopic manifestations were mucosal hyperemia edema, erosion and roughness. The histopathological manifestations were characterized by abnormal infiltration of eosinophils. In addition, the most commonly involved locations were the ileocecal junction and colorectum. The treatment methods included food elimination, anti-secretory, anti-histamine, and corticosteroids. All patients were alleviated after treatment, but some patients relapsed after drug withdrawal. <b>Conclusions:</b> The main clinical manifestations of adult EGE were abdominal pain, diarrhea and weight loss. Some patients had elevated peripheral blood eosinophilia, and the main endoscopic manifestations were mucosal hyperemia and edema, erosion, and roughness. The histopathological manifestations were characterized by abnormal infiltration of eosinophils. Finally, EGE can be relieved by diet and drug therapy, but it is easy to relapse.</p>","PeriodicalId":68309,"journal":{"name":"中华内科杂志","volume":"64 5","pages":"412-416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144063436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with PA and EH between December 2018 and December 2021 were included. Demographic characteristics, stroke events, coronary artery diseases, peripheral vascular diseases, and cardiac structure and function indicators were analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance non-study data. The <i>t</i>-test, chi-square test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for data comparison. The cardiovascular and cerebrovascular damage in the patients with unilateral and bilateral PA were also compared. <b>Results:</b> A total of 336 and 369 patients with PA and EH, respectively, were enrolled in this study. One hundred and ninety-eight patients from each group were included after PSM; no significant differences were found in terms of age, gender, and blood pressure. The prevalence of stroke in the PA group was considerably higher than that in the EH group [12.6% (25/198) vs. 5.6% (11/198), <i>P</i>=0.014], due to the significantly greater risk of ischemic stroke [10.0% (20/198) vs. 4.5% (9/198), <i>P</i>=0.029].
