The Pathophysiology of Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Altered Mechanisms of Antigen Detection in the Esophagus
Recently, a chronic idiopathic disease of the esophagus has emerged, which is now known as eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Incomplete knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of EoE has limited treatment options. EoE is known to be a Th2-type immune-mediated disorder. Based on previous studies in both …
