Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE) FAQ - Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA)
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) happens when white blood cells (called eosinophils) deposit in the lining of the oesophagus, which is the muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. This can be the result of an allergic reaction to food or the environment. Most cases of EoE are seen in people with other allergies such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma. It is estimated to affect around one in 1,000 people (children and adults), and the frequency of EoE appears to be increasing. The reasons are unclear, but it is known that allergies of all types have become more common.
