An interesting case of dysphagia- eosinophilic esophagitis

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is an atopic condition of the esophagus that has become increasingly recognized over the last decade. It is associated with a variety of esophageal symptoms such as dysphagia, food impaction and chest pain. It has a predilection for white males between the age of 30 and 40 years of age. EE is diagnosed based on the combination of typical esophageal symptoms and esophageal mucosal biopsies demonstrating squamous epithelial eosinophil-predominant inflammation. Hereby we present a case of 65-year-old female who presented with dysphagia and gastritis for 12 months duration.
