The diagnosis of esophageal eosinophilia is not increased in the summer months.

Smaller studies have suggested seasonal variation of the diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis with more patients being diagnosed in the aeroallergen season. We evaluated a large group of adult patients for a seasonal variation of the diagnosis of symptomatic eosinophilic esophageal infiltration. We performed a retrospective review of adult patients from a large Eosinophilic esophagitis database at the Mayo Clinic Rochester.

Occurrence of and risk factors for complications after endoscopic dilation in eosinophilic esophagitis.

Background: Several small series have suggested an increased risk of complications associated with esophageal dilation in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Objective: To quantitate the risk and identify risk factors for esophageal complications in dilation in EoE patients.

Design: Retrospective, uncontrolled, single-center study.
