Abstract

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease of the esophagus characterized by abnormal infiltration of eosinophils. The incidence of the disease that occurs in children and adults has been rapidly increasing in the last decade. Diagnosis and management of EoE warrants consultation with an allergist and a gastroenterologist.
