Eosinophilic esophagitis: An emerging disease

Abstract

Although eosinophilic esophagitis has been a commonly identified condition in Western countries, reports are emerging about an increasing incidence in developing countries. Multiple environmental factors and genetic susceptibility play a role in the development of this condition. Limited treatment modalities are available, and future research hopefully would guide further insights into effective management strategies of this condition.
