Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by esophageal dysfunction and eosinophilic infiltrate (≥15/hpf) in the esophageal epithelium and the absence of other potential causes of eosinophilia. The prevalence is increasing and is the most common cause of solid food dysphagia in children and young adults. This article will review the diagnosis and management of EoE based on consensus conferences, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis and highlights seminal…

Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Review and Update
TLDR
A better understanding of EoE's pathogenesis, genetic background, natural history, allergy workup, standardization in assessment of disease activity, evaluation of minimally invasive diagnostic tools, and new therapeutic approaches are contributed to.
An Update on Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Etiological Factors, Coexisting Diseases, and Complications
TLDR
This study aimed to provide gastroenterologists with novel insights into the evaluation of esophageal involvement with eosinophils and to pay special attention to the etiological factors, coexisting clinical diseases, and complications.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Eosinophilic Esophagitis.
TLDR
The understanding of EoE progression and the need for maintenance therapy is improved, and development of diagnostic tools that avoid endoscopy and biopsy analyses are continued to more easily monitor disease activity.
Identifying Patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis
TLDR
Endoscopic balloon dilation is used to treat esophageal remodeling and structuring that can result from long-standing EoE, and there is no role for surgical intervention.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was originally described in the pediatric population but in the last decade has been increasingly recognized in adults. It is a chronic inflammatory process defined by…
[Proton Pump Inhibitor-responsive Esophageal Eosinophilia: An Overview of Cases from One University Hospital Center].
TLDR
Patients who present with symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction need esphageal biopsy, regardless of the endoscopic findings, and patients diagnosed with EoE need to be treated first with PPI alone.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis From an Allergy Perspective: How to Optimally Pursue Allergy Testing & Dietary Modification in the Adult Population
TLDR
This article will review the existing data on these dietary therapies and will propose an approach to dietary management in adult EoE.
Corticosteroids for Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Children: A Meta-analysis
TLDR
It is shown that more studies are needed, by using validated clinical scores, to obtain more reliable results of corticosteroids versus placebo, mainly in histologic response.

A Pilot Study of Omalizumab in Eosinophilic Esophagitis
TLDR
It is demonstrated that in a subset of EoE patients, IgE plays a role in the pathophysiology of the disease and that anti-IgE therapy with omalizumab may result in disease remission.
ACG Clinical Guideline: Evidenced Based Approach to the Diagnosis and Management of Esophageal Eosinophilia and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
TLDR
Recommendations developed by adult and pediatric gastroenterologists are provided for the evaluation and management of patients with eosinophilic–esophageal disorders.
Esophageal eosinophilic infiltration responds to proton pump inhibition in most adults.
Natural history of primary eosinophilic esophagitis: a follow-up of 30 adult patients for up to 11.5 years.
TLDR
Eosinophilic esophagitis, a primary and chronic disease restricted to the esophagus, leads to persistent dysphagia and structural esophageal alterations but does not impact the nutritional state.
Esophageal dilation: simple and effective treatment for adults with eosinophilic esophagitis and esophageal rings and narrowing.
TLDR
Over an average of two years, esophageal dilation provided excellent symptomatic relief among 10 adult EoE patients despite no improvement in the mucosal eosinophilia or gross endoscopic appearance.
Eosinophilic esophagitis in children and adults: a systematic review and consensus recommendations for diagnosis and treatment.
TLDR
A multidisciplinary task force of 31 physicians assembled with the goal of determining diagnostic criteria and making recommendations for evaluation and treatment of children and adults with suspected eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) provided current recommendations for care of affected patients.

Variability in Diagnostic Criteria for Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Systematic Review
TLDR
Significant variability in diagnostic criteria for eosinophilic esophagitis exists, and in a large proportion of studies, criteria are not reported, so conclusions drawn from the cumulative EoE literature should be viewed with caution.
Primary eosinophilic esophagitis in children: successful treatment with oral corticosteroids.
TLDR
Pediatric patients in a series with marked esophageal eosinophilia and chronic symptoms of gastroesphageal reflux disease unresponsive to aggressive medical antireflux therapy had both clinical and histologic improvement after oral corticosteroid therapy.
