Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis is an emerging immune-mediated disease. It
affects more men than women and is associated with atopy. Depending on age, it has
different clinic, but all the symptoms are caused from esophageal dysfunction.
Eosinophilic esophagitis is diagnosed by symptoms and compatible endoscopy and
biopsy.
The objective is to describe the clinical characteristics of patients between 0-20 years
old, diagnosed in the last 15 years at Hospital de San Juan de Alicante, and the
treatments used with them.
Results: 26 patients with mean age of 10,42 years old were included in the study. 65.4%
were male. 92,3% were atopic, 65,4% had food allergies, 65,4% had allergies to
inhalants. The most frequent symptom was dysphagia with 61,5%, followed by
esophageal impaction with 52%. The most frequent endoscopic finding was longitudinal
grooves with 65% followed by esophageal rings with 50%. The pathology study showed
16 to 130 Eos/CGA. The most used treatments at the beginning were corticosteroids in
50% and PPI in 41.7%. Currently, 50% take PPI (in monotherapy or association with diet)
and 30% do not take any treatment.
There is evidence of a difference in evolution in those patients who did not present
atopic comorbidities (asthma or rhinitis) compared to those who did, with a worse
clinical course in those without comorbidities (Chi-square test p<0.05).
In addition, in those who debuted with impaction or isolated dysphagia, 30.8% remained
with persistent symptoms, compared to none of those who debuted with other
symptoms (abdominal pain, regurgitation or reflux). Without reach statistical
significance (Chi square test p=0.054).
Conclusions: The diagnosis eosinophilic esophagitis of is increasing. In the recent years,
the treatment has changed towards the use of PPIs versus corticosteroids. Atopic
comorbidities could be important in the evolution of patients.
