Abstract
Objective: The objective of this research work is to find out the EoE (Eosinophilic Esophagitis) frequency in the patients who are undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE).
Methodology: The patients who were UGIE for any sign exposed to biopsies of esophagus for the conclusion of the EoE. The protocol of additional biopsy was 2 from each stomach, duodenum, distal esophagus & proximal esophagus. The availability of greater than fifteen eosinophils in only 1 field of high power was the standard for the eosinophilic esophagitis diagnosis.
Results: Exact 94 patients were the part of this research work in accordance with the estimations of the size of samples. EoE was available in only seven (7.40%) patients who underwent UGIEs.
Conclusion: EOE is the active detection in the availability of the suggestive signs & symptoms.
