Similar to gastrointestinal symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis (EE), symptoms of otorhinolaryngologic disease associated with EE often are refractory to traditional treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patient demographics and characteristics often are similar. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion to accurately diagnose and manage airway findings related to esophagitis. Team collaboration between otolaryngologists, allergists, and gastroenterologists will assure the best treatment in this select group of predisposed patients.
与嗜酸性食管炎（EE）的胃肠道症状相似，与EE相关的耳鼻喉科疾病症状通常对传统的胃食管反流病治疗无效。患者的人口统计学特征和特点通常相似。临床医生必须保持高度的怀疑指数，以准确诊断和处理与食管炎相关的气道问题。耳鼻喉科医生、过敏症专科医生和胃肠病学家之间的团队合作将确保对这一特定易感患者群体进行最佳治疗。
