Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a relatively uncommon allergic disease. Presenting with variable gastrointestinal symptoms, the definitive diagnosis is made after esophageal visualization and histological confirmation of excessive esophageal eosinophils. The scientific discovery of the pathophysiology of EoE has been aided by its relationship to other common and well-recognized allergic diseases. Similarities and important differences have emerged to distinguish EoE as a significant pediatric allergic disease with unique medical care requirements.
嗜酸性食管炎(EoE)是一种相对罕见的过敏性疾病。它表现出多样的胃肠道症状,确诊需在食管可视化以及组织学证实食管嗜酸性粒细胞增多之后。EoE病理生理学的科学发现得益于它与其他常见且广为人知的过敏性疾病的关系。已出现的异同点将EoE区分成为一种有独特医疗需求的重要儿童过敏性疾病。
