RESUMEN
La esofagitis eosinofílica es una enfermedad crónica de etiología multifactorial inmunomediada localmente en la cual la forma de presentación varía según la edad del paciente, siendo mayoritariamente signos de disfunción esofágica. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante criterio histológico y el tratamiento se fundamenta en dieta y corticoterapia tópica y en caso de presentar estenosis se realizan dilataciones. Un diagnóstico precoz frena la evolución, reduce complicaciones y mejora el pronóstico (AU)
