Histologic findings from esophageal biopsies showed eosinophilic infiltration (> 15 per high-power field). Under a diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis, an endoscopic bougie was performed, which resulted in symptomatic relief. Follow-up EGD revealed that the stenosis had improved, but histologic ...
severeeosinophilic esophagitis.34Both patients underwent fundoplication for presumed acidreflux esophagitisunresponsive to medical therapy. However, postsurgical evaluation of both patients revealed ongoing clinical symptoms. Repeatesophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) demonstrated persistent esophageal eosinophilia. ...
They also had a higher likelihood of not receiving EoE treatment at the time of first surveillance EGD. Perspective fromMarc E. Rothenberg, MD, PhD Native American youth have increased odds for feeding tube placement, not receiving eosinophilic esophagitis treatment upon d...
Introduction: Last year we reported a previously unpublished endoscopic finding in children with eosinophilic/peptic esophagitis, viz VLEM (Gastrointest Endoscopy 1995;41:338). Aim: We now present data from a prospective study of this possible association and report on it's response to therapy. ...

Unsedated transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is an alternative method of examining the esophageal mucosa in pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), reducing cost, time, and risk associated with frequent surveillance esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGD). Adequacy of transnasal esophageal biopsies for...

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease with a complex underlying genetic etiology. Herein, we conduct whole-exome sequencing of a multigeneration EoE pedigree (discovery set) and 61 additional multiplex families with EoE (replication set). A series of rare, heterozyg...
Data included sex, age, presentation, duodenal pathology, tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A antibody (TTG) positivity, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type (when indicated), and gross and microscopic Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) findings. Duodenal biopsy, TTG results, and HLA type were ...
