Children with a clinical diagnosis of RAP have marked duodenal eosinophilia, independent of H. pylori infection, suggesting the role of unknown infectious or allergic triggers in the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal disorders in childhood. Further research is needed on the diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of targeting duodenal eosinophilia.
