“GI questions?”
- Can heliobacter infections other than H pylori be seen on the H&E stain of gastric biopsy? Would helicobacter heilmannii that can cause chronic gastritis to be seen on the routine H&E stain or does it require different staining or procedure to be seen?
- Distal esophageal biopsy showed squamous mucosa with chronic inflammation and increased intraepithelial eosinophils (up to 80 to 100 eosinophils per high power field). No columnar-type mucosa identified. Is that a super high number of eosinophils? Do I need to be super concerned with that high number of eosinophils? Mid esophagus showed focally up to 6 eosinophils per high power field.
- I'm not currently on any PPI but took a trial many months ago that didn't do much if anything for the burping.
