Purpose
This study aimed to investigate whether proteins present in the molting membranes of third-stage (L3) Anisakis larvae could serve as potential risk factors for allergic reactions.
Methods
Third-stage larvae (L3) of Anisakis spp. were primarily collected from mackerels and cultured in vitro to yield both molting membranes and fourth-stage (L4) larvae. Major soluble proteins in the molting membranes were identified using SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). Crude antigens extracted from L3, L4, and the molting membranes were subsequently evaluated by western blotting using sera from Anisakis-infected rabbits and patients with eosinophilia.
Results
Antigens derived from the molting membranes reacted with sera from Anisakis-infected rabbits as well as with sera from 7 patients with eosinophilia of unknown origin. These findings suggest that unidentified proteins in the molting membranes of Anisakis L3 may contribute to early allergic reactions, particularly in patients sensitized by specific molecular components.
Conclusion
Our results indicate that proteins present in the molting membranes of third-stage Anisakis spp. larvae may be associated with allergic responses. Further studies are required to confirm the correlation between these membranes and Anisakis-induced allergies.

Eosinophilic Enteritis with Eosinophilic Ascites without Eosinophilia
Seung Hyun Hong, Jae Yoon Jeong, Suk Joon Park, Jang Ook Lee, Sung Yoon Lee, Seung Min Woo, Hyun Joo You
Ewha Med J 2013;36(Suppl):S14-S16.   Published online December 23, 2013

Eosinophilic enteritis is an uncommon disease of unknown cause characterized by eosinophilic infiltration in various areas of the gastrointestinal tract with symptoms. It is generally classified according to the layer of the gastrointestinal tract involved. Eosinophilic infiltration of the serosa is the rarest form of presentation and may manifest eosinophilic ascites. We report a case of a 47-year-old man who experienced progressing abdominal pain. A diffuse erythematous change of the gastric mucosa was observed on gastrofibroscopy. An abdominal computed tomography and colonoscopy showed diffuse wall thickening of the small bowel and colon with a small amount of ascites. Eosinophilic infiltration was confirmed by multiple biopsies of the gastrointestinal tract and peritoneal fluid analysis. The patient was treated with corticosteroid and responded dramatically.

A Case of Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia
Moon Joung Kim, So Yun Cho, Mi Ae Lee, Kyu Kwang Whang, Jeong Hee Hahm
Ihwa Ŭidae chi 1998;21(4):267-272.   Published online December 31, 1998
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12771/emj.1998.21.4.267

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia(ALHE) is a benign, uncommon disorder of unknown etiology and usually appears as intradermal or subcutaneous, red to brown papules and/or nodules, usually located on the head and neck region, and occurring in young adults.

Histopathologically ALHE is an angiolymphoproliferative lesion which shows characteristically plump epitheloid or histioid endothelial cells, accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate that mainly consists of lymphocytes and eosinophils.

We reported a case of angiolymphoid hypreplasia with eosinophilia occurring on the scalp in a 52-year-old female and review the literature.
