Abstract

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the esophagus characterized by symptoms of dysphagia or GERD-like symptoms, specific endoscopic findings and eosinophilic infiltrates. We report a case of asymptomatic eosinophilicesophagitis in a 3 years old child who is known to have very early-onset ulcerative colitis at 8 months and diagnosed at 18 months of age.

Keywords: Eosinophilic Esophagitis, ulcerative colitis
