Eosinophilic esophagitis is a relatively new, moderately-well understood disease. It is one of the leading causes of dysphagia in the pediatric population. Thought to be triggered by food ingestion, it is distinctly different from food allergies. Although endoscopy is required for diagnosis, this article will review warning signs and symptoms that aid with evaluation and diagnosis of this disease. Treatment modalities and management are evolving and more research is needed.
