  • Title: Eosinophilic esophagitis: an increasingly recognized cause of dysphagia, food impaction, and refractory heartburn.
    Author: Nonevski IT, Downs-Kelly E, Falk GW.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2008 Sep; 75(9):623-6, 629-33. PubMed ID: 18788223.
    Abstract:
    Eosinophilic esophagitis is an increasingly recognized cause of a variety of esophageal symptoms, including dysphagia, food impaction, atypical chest pain, and heartburn that does not respond to medical therapy. Its cause is unknown, but allergic and immune-mediated mechanisms similar to those of asthma and other atopic diseases are implicated.
