Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an increasingly prevalent chronic condition characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal epithelium accompanied by esophageal symptoms. The number of new diagnoses is growing worldwide in both pediatric and adult populations. Differences in disease distribution and presentation have been found, varying by gender, race, and other characteristics. This review examines the existing literature and provides insight into the demographic features of EoE.Entities:
