TL;DR: Evidence-based recommendations for EoE diagnosis, treatment modalities, and patients’ follow up are proposed in the guidelines, and expert opinion and best clinical practice are provided.

TL;DR: In newly diagnosed CD, some variability of histological lesions can be found, even within the same duodenal biopsy, in which areas of apparently normal mucosa with increased IEL number often exist.

TL;DR: Mucosal atrophy is present in 85% of patients with CD and total VA is significantly more frequent in distal duodenum or proximal jejunum, and in genetically susceptible children with positive serology, a diagnosis of CD can reliably be made even if biopsies are not taken from the distal deltoids.

TL;DR: The IBD incidence in children and adolescents in Italy shows an increasing trend for all 3 pathologies, and UC diagnoses exceeded CD, which is more frequent among children aged between 6 and 12 years.

TL;DR: Pulmonary aspiration as demonstrated by overnight scintigraphy is common in children with unexplained and refractory respiratory manifestations, suggesting that GER could be the underlying cause of these manifestations.
