Phenotypic Characterization of Eosinophilic Esophagitis in a Large Multi-Center Patient Population from the Consortium for Food Allergy Research

ConclusionsGastrointestinal eosinophilia is present in ∼10% of EoE patients; the symptom-diagnosis time gap is influenced by age, race, food allergy and atopic dermatitis; symptoms vary with race; concurrent infectious/immunological disorders and mental health disorders are common; and the level of esophageal eosinophils is comparable in patients with and without fibrostenotic features.
