Eosinophilic esophagitis

Abstract

Abstract Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an atopic condition of the esophagus that has become increasingly recognized. Diagnosis of the disorder is dependent on the patient’s clinical manifestations and must be confirmed by histologic findings on esophageal mucosal biopsies. The epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of EoE are discussed in this review.
