Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is diagnosed on the basis of the presence of dysphagia and intraepithelial eosinophilic infiltration of a parts per thousand yen15 cells per high-power field; nevertheless, it is important to identify the endoscopic findings of EoE in general practice. EoE should be ...
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was first described by Landis in 1978. The disease is characterized by esophageal symptoms, primarily dysphagia in adult patients, and esophageal eosinophilic infiltration. The disease is associated with characteristic endoscopic findings, including edema, rings, furrows, ...
Eosinophilic esophagitis is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa and its pathogenesis is unknown. Food allergy has been reported in up to 50% of patients with EE. Characteristic endoscopic findings of vertical furrowings, concentric rings and low esophageal structures were ...

Eosinophilic esophagitis can be associated with a narrow esophagus and other esophageal strictures. Eosinophilic esophagitis has specific endoscopic findings that suggest, but are not pathognomonic for, the diagnosis. Several treatments are effective. Elemental and elimination diets, as well as corticosteroi...
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an atopic condition of the esophagus that has become increasingly recognized. Diagnosis of the disorder is dependent on the patient’s clinical manifestations and must be confirmed by histologic findings on esophageal mucosal biopsies. The epidemiology, pathophysiology, di...
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergen-mediated disorder characterized by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and a marked eosinophilic infiltrate on esophageal biopsy. The intense intraepithelial eosinophil infiltration is accompanied by typical clinical, endoscopic, and histologic findings. Symptoms of ...
Endoscopic findings such as esophageal rings, strictures, narrow-caliber esophagus, linear furrows, white plaques, and pallor or decreased vasculature might indicate the presence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). We aimed to determine the prevalence and diagnostic utility of endoscopic features of EoE....
