Eosinophilic esophagitis 25 years after its recognition

It has been truly amazing to witness the progress made in understanding and managing eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) since its recognition 25 years ago. If we examine EoE through history, we notice sporadic reports starting in 1978 of patients with presentations consistent with EoE. Not until 1993 did Attwood et al describe their adult case series, raising awareness about this disease.1 Two years later, Kelly et al discovered that EoE was triggered by food antigens rather than caused by acid-induced gastroesophageal reflux disease, through demonstration of disease remission with exclusive feeding with an amino acid-based formula.
