Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence and incidence. The symptoms may be nonspecific and vary depending on the patient's age. Most common, affected persons (mostly young men) suffer from dysphagia and food bolus impactions. In the endoscopic examination, tissue changes may be nonspecific, histologically an infiltration with eosinophilic granulocytes predominates. Treatment options may be diets, medicaments and dilations. This article should provide a short overview of this continuously progressing disease and illustrate the diagnostic assessment as well as the different treatment options.
