Pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis: a review for the clinician

Abstract Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic clinical-pathologic disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal epithelium with esophageal dysfunction symptoms. EoE can occur at any age and has different clinical manifestations depending on the age onset. To date, esoph...

EoE can occur at any age and has different clinical manifestations depending on the age onset. To date, esophago-gastroduodenal endoscopy (EGD) with biopsy is the gold-standard for EoE diagnosis.

A multidisciplinary approach (allergist, gastroenterology, dietitian, and pathologist) is recommended for managing patients affected by EoE, given the complexity of its treatment.
