Abstract
- ilatation (with Savary); now the patient is in remission. Two patients (3–4 ears old) have no more symptoms, the EGD is normal, but they are still on ietary treatment. The last two patients are still on medical treatment. Conclusions. In patients with eosinophilic oesophagitis the pH-metry is ormal, the anti-acid therapy is useless and the oesophageal biopsy shows high number of eosinophils (>20/HPF). The differential diagnosis is with astro-oesophageal reflux, allergies, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, parasites nfections, gastrointestinal disorders (coeliac and Crohn disease). The surical approach is necessary only in few cases when there are also other athologies. GER is present in 10% of patients with EE.
