Counts &gt;15 eos\/HPF were found in 2.8% esophagi, 3.5% corpora, 4.9% antra, and 10.7% duodena. Duodenal eos\/HPF were significantly higher than those of esophageal, corporeal, and antral. Mucosal eos\/HPF increased with age in esophagus and antrum. The highest esophageal eos\/HPF were significantly associated with recurrent abdominal pain, and with anemia in antrum, corpus, and duodenum. Major and\/or minor histological features of eosinophilic esophagitis were seen in 9 of 10 esophagi with 5 to 15 eos\/HPF and 7 of 8 esophagi with &gt;15 eos\/HPF.

Mucosal eosinophil counts increase from esophagus to duodenum, and also with age in esophagus and antrum.
