Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is still considered a rare disease. However, over the past decades, there has been an increase in publications on the diagnosis and treatment of EoE in both adults and children. Challenges in diagnosing EoE, especially in children, are associated with underestimation of risk factors and non-specific symptoms. For adults, the main symptom is dysphagia combined with eosinophilic infiltration of esophageal tissue (over 15 per field of view); thus, the diagnosis can be verified. The article presents a clinical case of EoE in an adolescent with an early atopic march and long-term retrosternal pain and dysphagia, and criteria for deciding on therapy are provided.
