Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a relatively recently described condition, with rapidly increasing prevalence over the past several years. There is unfortunately no cure for EoE, and treatment involves food elimination and off-label use of topical steroids. These treatments can have significant impacts on quality of life for patients. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been shown to decrease Th2 cytokines which are implicated in the pathophysiology of EoE. We present an 11-year-old male with severe EoE who was treated with TCM and able to achieve complete remission. Further modalities of treatment for EoE should continue to be pursued.
嗜酸性食管炎（EoE）是一种相对较新描述的病症，在过去几年中其患病率迅速上升。不幸的是，目前还没有治愈 EoE 的方法，治疗方法包括食物消除和外用类固醇的非适应证使用。这些治疗方法会对患者的生活质量产生重大影响。中医（TCM）已被证明可以降低 Th2 细胞因子，这些细胞因子与 EoE 的病理生理学有关。我们报告了一例 11 岁男性，患有严重的 EoE，经 TCM 治疗后达到完全缓解。应该继续寻求治疗 EoE 的其他方法。
