“…Although GER is best diagnosed using 24-h pH-monitoring or impedancemetry [28][29][30][31][32], endoscopy is helpful when it reveals clear signs of erosive esophagitis. A thickened or ringed esophageal mucosa may be indicative of eosinophilic esophagitis [33,34].…”

Adult and pediatric laryngotracheal stenoses (LTS) comprise a wide array of various conditions that require precise preoperative assessment and classification to improve comparison of different therapeutic modalities in a matched series of patients. This consensus paper of the European Laryngological Society proposes a five-step endoscopic airway assessment and a standardized reporting system to better differentiate fresh, incipient from mature, cicatricial LTSs, simple one-level from complex multilevel LTSs and finally ''healthy'' from ''severely morbid'' patients. The proposed scoring system, which integrates all of these parameters, may be used to help define different groups of LTS patients, choose the best treatment modality for each individual patient and assess distinct post-treatment outcomes accordingly.

“…There is evidence to support EE as an allergic/ immunologic disease, with 68-81% of patients having clinical or laboratory testing consistent with atopy [3][4][5][6]. Indeed, asthma is the most common lower airway finding [7,8]. The putative cause of EE is hypersensitivity to antigens (swallowed food, aeroallergens and/or swallowed secretions from the upper and/or lower airways) in the esophagus [9].…”

“…Skin prick and serologic IgE tests identify type 1 hypersensitivity allergic reactions, whereas atopy patch testing assesses type 4 hypersensitivity reactions. These tests are abnormal in most adults and children with EoE [13,14]. Positive skin tests to environmental allergens were more frequently identifi ed than positive reactions to food antigens [1••].…”

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an increasingly recognized disease characterized by esophageal symptoms accompanied by increased esophageal mucosal eosinophilia. The reasons for the increasing prevalence and understanding of the pathogenesis of EoE are areas of active investigation. Food and environmental allergy, host immunologic predisposition, and interactions with gastroesophageal reflux disease have emerged as important aspects of the disease. The optimal management of EoE is controversial and evolving. Therapeutic options include medical therapy with acid suppression, corticosteroids, and biologic agents. Elimination diets and endoscopic esophageal dilation have shown effectiveness. Management strategies for individual patients range from clinical observation to multimodal therapy, depending on the clinical presentation.

Clinical Characteristics of Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Children

Abstract: Eosinophilic esophagitis may contribute to treatment failure in patients with common and complicated aerodigestive tract disorders. To encourage clinicians to avoid overlooking the diagnosis, we present an evaluative algorithm to increase the suspicion of this entity.
