Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune disorder primarily triggered by food allergens, leading to symptoms like dysphagia, food impaction, and abdominal pain, and has increasing prevalence among both children and adults.
- Diagnosis involves endoscopic biopsies showing greater than 15 eosinophils per high power field, and the disease is often associated with other allergic conditions like asthma and eczema.
- Treatment options include dietary changes, medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and esophageal dilation, with early diagnosis and intervention being crucial to prevent complications like esophageal stenosis.
