Eosinophilic oesophagitis: a clinical update

摘要

I would like to thank you for the recent clinical intelligence article on eosinophilic oesophagitis.1 As a current GPVTS working in ENT I found this clinical update very informative and relevant to my work. Interestingly only a few days after reading this article we admitted a 17-year-old young man complaining of a food bolus sensation following eating chicken earlier in the day. He was normally fit and well, and of note did not suffer with any atopic conditions. He was managed initially with medical therapy, however, after some initial improvement his symptoms deteriorated and the time between consumption and regurgitation of water progressively shortened.
