Infected retroperitoneal pelvic necrosis in severe acute pancreatitis: how can we manage it?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EO) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the oesophagus that is rapidly increasing in prevalence. Although systemic and topical corticosteroids are effective in treating EO, some patients develop corticosteroid dependency. Alternative therapeutic approaches that avoid corticostero...
