Clinical features and time trends associated with an endoscopically normal esophagus in active eosinophilic esophagitis

Abstract

An endoscopically normal esophagus is seen in ~10 % of active EoE patients and should not preclude biopsies; younger age, abdominal pain, and lack of dysphagia are independent predictors. The proportion of normal EGDs decreased over time, suggesting improved recognition of endoscopic findings.
