A Case of Eosinophilic Esophagitis With Food Hypersensitivity

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disorder characterized by isolated eosinophilic infiltration of the esophagus with esophageal symptoms. Although some patients with EoE are related to food hypersensitivity, it is hard to identify causative foods. This report describes a case of EoE with dysphagia...

description Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disorder characterized by isolated eosinophilic infiltration of the esophagus with esophageal symptoms. Although some patients with EoE are related to food hypersensitivity, it is hard to identify causative foods. This report describes a case of EoE with dysphagia. A 28-year-old man presented with dysphagia and substernal discomfort for 15 days. He had taken a protein complex for 2 months. Endoscopy showed several linear furrows and multiple mucosal nodularities on the lower and mid esophagus, and the biopsies of esophagus revealed marked eosinophil infiltration in the mucosa. The skin testing for the protein complex was positive. The patient was successfully treated with withholding treatment.
