Race-specific characteristics in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis in an urban inner-city clinic.

Background: Manifestations of pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are varied and dictated by multiple factors. The influence of race is limited to small observational cohorts of dichotomized data (Whites vs non-Whites) or single-racial analysis.

Objective: To better understand phenotypic variability in the manifestation and atopic sensitization of pediatric EoE, from the perspective of race.
