Polysensitization to aeroallergens and food in eosinophilic esophagitis in a pediatric population.
There are few studies on eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) in the pediatric population in Europe. We present our data and emphasize the following findings: a) all patients had symptoms of allergic respiratory disease prior to receiving a diagnosis of EE with polysensitization (aeroallergens, food allergens); and b) in contrast with the results of earlier studies, food sensitization in our series mo...

متن کاملPrevalence of Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Lymphocytic Esophagitis in Adults with Esophageal Food Bolus Impaction
Background. The relation of esophageal food bolus impaction (FBI) to eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and lymphocytic esophagitis (LyE) is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of EoE and LyE among adults with FBI. Methods. In this retrospective study we analyzed data from all patients referred for gastroscopy during the past 5 years, because of a present or recent episod...
متن کاملFood allergy and eosinophilic esophagitis: learning what to avoid.
Food allergies have increased in prevalence significantly in the past decade and so, apparently, has eosinophilic esophagitis. Although the cause of eosinophilic esophagitis is unknown, allergic responses including food allergies have been implicated. This article reviews both conditions, focusing on how to detect and manage them.
