• Gli eos<strong>in</strong>ofili sono le cellule granulocitiche<br />

<strong>in</strong>fiammatorie che si ritrovano<br />

con più frequenza nei tessuti<br />

<strong>di</strong> pazienti con malattie gastro<strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>ali<br />

eos<strong>in</strong>ofile e possono svolgere<br />

funzioni <strong>di</strong>st<strong>in</strong>te a seconda <strong>del</strong><br />

microambiente <strong>in</strong> cui si trovano<br />

(protezione/danno nei confronti<br />

<strong>del</strong>l’ospite)<br />

• <strong>Il</strong> loro ruolo nelle malattie <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>ali<br />

non può essere al momento considerato<br />

certo: fondamentale per<br />

la ricerca <strong>in</strong> corso e per la cura<br />

cl<strong>in</strong>ica sarà l’analisi non solo <strong>del</strong><br />

numero degli eos<strong>in</strong>ofili presenti nei<br />

tessuti, ma anche dei mo<strong>del</strong>li <strong>di</strong><br />

eos<strong>in</strong>ofilia, <strong>del</strong>la localizzazione e<br />

<strong>del</strong>le caratteristiche <strong>in</strong>fiammatorie<br />

associate<br />

• Non sono attualmente note misure<br />

preventive per le malattie <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>ali<br />

associate a eos<strong>in</strong>ofilia, se<br />

non per l’esofagite eos<strong>in</strong>ofila<br />

• L’anti-IL-5 è un farmaco biologico<br />

che sembra promettente nelle<br />

malattie gastro<strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>ali eos<strong>in</strong>ofile<br />
