Descriptor esofagitis eosinofílica
Scope note: ESOFAGITIS crónica caracterizada por EOSINOFILIA en la mucosa esofágica. El diagnóstico se realiza cuando existe incremento de EOSINÓFILOS en todo el esófago. En contraste con la ENFERMEDAD POR REFLUJO GASTROESOFÁGICO, los síntomas de reflujo no responden al tratamiento con INHIBIDORES DE LA BOMBA DE PROTONES. Los síntomas se asocian a hipersensibilidad a alérgenos alimentarios o inhalados, mediada por IgE.

Scope note: Chronic ESOPHAGITIS characterized by esophageal mucosal EOSINOPHILIA. It is diagnosed when an increase in EOSINOPHILS are present over the entire esophagus. The reflux symptoms fail to respond to PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS treatment, unlike in GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE. The symptoms are associated with IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to food or inhalant allergens.
