Chronic inflammatory process causes esophageal remodeling, leading to difficulties in swallowing. Food impaction, heartburn, and chest pain are other characteristic (but not pathognomonic) symptoms in adults. Although the disease has only been described since in the early 1970s, its incidence and prevalence are rapidly growing, especially in Western countries. According to the diagnostic guidelines, there should be at least 15 eosinophils visible per high-power field in biopsies obtained from different sites in the esophagus upon endoscopy with relevant esophageal symptoms. Other diseases that can cause esophageal eosinophilia should be ruled out. Eosinophilic esophagitis treatment may be challenging; however, new methods of management have recently emerged. The currently used proton pump inhibitors, topical corticosteroids, and elimination diet are combined with biological treatment. New methods for disease diagnostics and clinical course assessment are also available. This review presents current knowledge about the disease, supported by the latest research data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12062259","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,15]],"date-time":"2023-03-15T04:39:45Z","timestamp":1678855185000},"page":"2259","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Eosinophilic Esophagitis\u2014What Do We Know So Far?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jakub","family":"W\u0105sik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Tract Diseases, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1825-1807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ewa","family":"Ma\u0142ecka-Wojciesko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Tract Diseases, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"575","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.132.4.575","article-title":"Radiographic features of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (allergic gastroenteropathy) of childhood","volume":"132","author":"Teele","year":"1979","journal-title":"Am.
