However, striking eosinophilia occasionally masks the nature of underlying disease and raises the possibility of another diagnosis, such as eosinophilic gastroenteritis. The purpose of this review is to discuss the normal distribution of gastrointestinal eosinophils as well as the differential diagnosis of ...
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory disorder that affects the esophagus, causing distressing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing in adolescents and adults, and vomiting and abdominal pain in children.

The benefit of early intervention in patients who show eosinophilic airway inflammation but have normal or near normal lung function has been recently demonstrated. It seems that we should treat 'asthma even before asthma', if the disease is defined in terms of lung function. Persistent asthma is...

Drug-induced EP is a collective term for diseases with respiratory manifestations—including dyspnea—that develop as a consequence of lung tissue damage caused by eosinophilic infiltration during drug treatment. Drugs that have been reported to induce EP include loxoprofen, acetylsalicylic acid, acetaminop...
When acid reflux is severe, the first step might be to try a PPI medication to see if that helps. If not, it may be time to do some testing to make sure that there isn’t another condition, such as an ulcer oreosinophilic esophagitis, causing the symptoms. If not, PPI therapy might...
