RESUMO
Background Chronic cough (CC) as the main symptom of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), associated or not with other signs of esophageal dysfunction, has been poorly studied. Research the frequency of CC symptoms of EoEObjectives and their characteristics. Comorbidities, adherence to treatment, and evolution. An observational,Methods prospective study. Variables: Epidemiological, demographics, atopic, endoscopic, histological, comorbidities, symptoms, time of evolution, endoscopic phenotype, respiratory function tests. Adherence, response to treatment, complications, and evolution Only 20 patients (5%) with EoE had CC. The mean age:24 years, male 85%. TheResults time of evolution: 5 years. CC: recurrent during the day (never at night), worsened with food intake (during or after), improved when remission EoE and reappeared when active EoE. There were a few severe complications. Conclusion Although the frequency of CC as a symptom in EoE is low, it must be considered, especially if it appears in food intake.
