Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an atopic condition diagnosed based on eosinophilic infiltration in the esophagus and symptoms of esophageal dysfunction. Typical clinical manifestations of EoE include feeding refusal, vomiting, and dysphagia however recent reports highlight an associations with extraesophageal symptoms. By definition the inflammatory response in EoE is restricted to the esophagus. However, accounts of symptoms such as chronic refractory cough, recurrent croup, hoarseness as well as subglottic stenosis, and an increase in otolaryngologic surgeries in patients with EoE raise the possibility of extraesophageal manifestations of the disease. These symptoms have been reported at times in the absence of typical gastrointestinal symptoms. While the condition is usually managed by gastroenterologist and/or allergist, the presence of extraesophageal symptoms and comorbid conditions may result in patients presenting initially to providers in other subspecialties such as pulmonology and otorhinolaryngology. The use of proton pump inhibitors and corticosteroids are part of the management of EoE. Awareness of the possibility of EoE before the empiric use of these therapies is important as there use can make identifying an...Continue Reading

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.
