Eosinophilic esophagitis is specific disease that involves an isolated esophageal eosinophilic inflammation and clinical symptoms that do not respond to acid-suppression therapy or are associated with normal esophageal pH monitoring. To establish the diagnosis, upper endoscopy with esophageal biopsies is required. Referral to an allergist and food allergen testing is recommended. Dietary and topical corticosteroid therapies are commonly used and are effective in the majority of patients.
