Pathophysiology of Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, progressive immune-mediated disease associated with antigen-driven type 2 inflammation and symptoms of esophageal dysfunction. Research over the last 2  decades has dramatically furthered our understanding of the complex interplay between genetics, environmental exposures, and cellular and molecular interactions involved in EoE. This review provides an overview of our current understanding of EoE pathogenesis.
