The biopsies show features of chronicity and would be consistent with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a drug reaction, and chronic infection. There are no eosinophilic abscesses, as previously noted (see report for specimen S11-3965) and severe inflammation with ulceration. These findings make an eosinophilic enterocolitis unlikely. In the context of an IBD diagnosis, histologic features would favour ulcerative colitis over Crohn's disease. | |||
