There are approximately 45 lymphocytes/100 enterocytes. Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) is a nonspecific finding. IELs are seen in celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease; however, may be explained by the Helicobacter-like organisms found in the stomach. Clinical correlation is suggested. | There are approximately 45 lymphocytes/100 enterocytes. Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) is a nonspecific finding.

Focally, there are approximately 50 lymphocytes/100 enterocytes. Increased intraepithelial | |||
lymphocytes is a nonspecific finding that may be seen in a number of conditions, including | |||
infections (e.g. Helicobacter gastritis), and autoimmune disorders (e.g. Crohn's disease, celiac disease). In this case, it may be explained by the Helicobacter-like organisms found in the stomach. Clinical correlation is suggested. | |||
