Objectives: Esophageal dilation is commonly performed in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE),
but there are few long-term data. The aims of this study were to assess the safety and long …

OBJECTIVES: Esophageal dilation often leads to long-lasting relief of dysphagia in
eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The aim of this study was to define the effectiveness, safety …

Background Although most of the patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) have mucosal
and structural changes that could potentially explain their symptoms, it is unclear whether …

It is unknown if successful control of esophageal inflammation in eosinophilic esophagitis
(EoE) decreases the need for subsequent esophageal dilation. We aimed to determine …

Methods: All consecutive patients with a confirmed diagnosis of EoE from 1988 to 2013
treated at University of South Florida were included. Patients were grouped into …

Results: In total, 20% of patients showed a concentric esophageal stricture, and in 57%
simultaneous contraction rings were visible. Mucosal alterations consisted of granular …

OBJECTIVES: The esophageal mucosal integrity is impaired in patients with eosinophilic
esophagitis (EoE). We aimed to evaluate the effect of fluticasone propionate on inflammation …

Background & Aims Identification of fibrosis in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) relies
on symptom assessment and endoscopy. Symptoms are highly variable, and early fibrotic …

The understanding of esophageal motility alterations in patients who have eosinophilic
esophagitis (EE) is in its infancy despite the common presenting complaint of dysphagia. A …

Background & Aims Penetration of the esophageal epithelium by food antigens is an early
event in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), but the precise relationship …
