Aumento del diagnóstico de esofagitis eosinofílica en nuestro medio

The incidence of eosinophilic esophagitis is increasing. This disease should be considered in patients with longstanding symptoms presumed to be caused by gastroesophageal reflux or motility disorders with poor response to standard therapy. Eosinophilic esophagitis is frequently associated with allergy. A normal appearance of esophageal mucosa on endoscopy should not prevent the clinician from taking multiple biopsies. Patients with eosinophilic esophagitis show good response to anti-allergic treatment.
