Diagnostic approaches and treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis: A review article
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE): A condition that involves eosinophilic influx into the esophagus epithelium. It affects both
children as well as adults. Adults present with dysphagia whereas children with vague abdominal complaints were being
affected. The clinical symptoms, as well as pathological features of EoE and gastroesophageal reflux disease, are similar. Since
eosinophilia in the esophagus is a non-specific finding, the clinical presentation in conjunction with endoscopic findings and
pathology is crucial in determining a differential diagnosis. Because of the similarity between EoE and reflux, reflux should be
excluded by using high proton pump inhibitors or through evidence of a normal pH by esophageal testing prior to treatment
with an elimination diet or orally swallowed inhaled steroids.
