About this Seminar
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic condition that has rapidly transformed over the past 30 years from a case-reportable disease to a major cause of upper gastrointestinal morbidity in the United States. In this seminar, Dr. McGowan will first discuss the clinical presentation, epidemiology, and natural history of EoE. She will then review emerging data on how EoE may be underdiagnosed, especially in populations with limited access to care. Finally, she will discuss the potential role of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) in the pathogenesis of this disease.
