Resumo
A esofagite eosinofílica (EoE) é uma doença inflamatória, crônica e recidivante do esôfago, caracterizada por inflamação com predomínio de eosinófilos e sintomas de disfunção esofágica. A doença, que representa a principal causa de disfagia crônica em crianças, jovens e adultos, compartilha intrínseca correlação com alergias, tanto em sua fisiopatologia, quanto em dados epidemiológicos e, recentemente, foi considerada uma manifestação tardia da marcha atópica em alguns indivíduos. O presente trabalho objetiva ampliar o conhecimento acerca da doença, visto que a EoE é uma patologia relativamente nova na história da medicina, e seu diagnóstico depende de elevada suspeição clínica. Além disso, por ser uma entidade com elevado potencial de causar impacto na qualidade de vida e repercussões fisiológicas, psicológicas e sociais para os pacientes, a suspeição e reconhecimento precoce da doença é essencial para que se institua a terapêutica adequada e obtenha-se controle sobre a progressão da doença.

Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory, chronic, and recurrent esophageal disease characterized by inflammation with predominance of eosinophils and symptoms of esophageal dysfunction. The disease, which is the main cause of chronic dysphagia in children, young people, and adults, shares an intrinsic correlation with allergies, both in pathophysiology and in epidemiological data, and it was recently considered a late manifestation of the atopic march in some people. The present study aims to expand the knowledge about the disease, as EoE is a relatively new condition in the history of medicine and its diagnosis depends on high clinical suspicion. In addition, because EoE is an entity with a high potential to impact quality of life and cause physiological, psychological, and social repercussions for patients, suspicion and early recognition of the disease are essential for implementing an appropriate therapy and obtaining control over disease progression.
