Abstract

Eosinophilic esophagitis is an inflammatory condition of the esophagus characterized by eosinophilic infiltration. It is a condition mainly affecting children; the adult form has only recently gained recognition as a distinct entity. The major symptom among adults with eosinophilic esophagitis is dysphagia. It is often misdiagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease because of the similarity in symptoms. An endoscopic biopsy is required to distinguish between the conditions. The cause of eosinophilic esophagitis is poorly understood, but food allergy has been implicated. Topical steroids are the most effective and convenient method for the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis in adults. The long-term prognosis of eosinophilic esophagitis is uncertain; however, data suggests a benign course. We herein present two eosinophilic esophagitis cases that were the first to be diagnosed in our clinic.

Özet

Eozinofilik özofajit; özofagusun eozinofil infiltrasyonu ile karakterize inşamatuvar bir durumudur. Başlıca çocukları etkileyen bir klinik tablodur ancak günümüzde erişkin formu farklı bir antite olarak tanımlanmıştır. Eozinofilik özofajitli erişkinlerde başlıca semptom disfajidir. Bu olgular semptomları benzer olduğu için, yanlışlıkla gastroözofagial reşü hastalığı tanısı almaktadırlar. Bu iki tabloyu ayırdetmek için endoskopik biyopsi yapılması gereklidir. Eozinofilik özofajitin sebebi tam olarak bilinmemektedir, ancak gıda allerjisi ile ilişkisi vardır. Eozinofilik özofajitli erişkinlerin tedavisinde topikal kortikosteroidler en uygun ve etkili tedavi metodudurlar. Uzun dönem prognozu bilinmemekle birlikte, mevcut bilgiler selim seyirli olduğu yönündedir. Bu yazıda kliniğimizde ilk kez tanısı konulan 2 eozinofilik özofajitli olgu sunulmuştur.
