Results of sigmoidoscopic observation and histopathology in food protein-induced proctocolitis compared with the previous observations of Odze et al. and Machida et al.^*

^*Odze et al. (Reference 9, 13) and Machida et al. (Reference 10). ^† p=0.0001 vs. Odze's and p=0.0001 vs. Machida's. ^‡The maximum number of eosinophils per high-power field (HPF) (×400) in the single most involved biopsy was recorded. ^§p=0.001 vs. Odze's and p=0.0001 vs. Machida's. ^∥p=0.0001 vs. Machida's. EOS, eosinophil; LP, lamina propria; n.d., no data; MM, muscularis mucosa.
