Retrospective Chart Review to Correlate Airborne Allergen Skin Test Results with Biopsy Documented Esophageal Eosinophil Count in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE)

Higher degrees of airborne sensitization also correlate with greater eosinophilic counts on esophageal biopsy - as those patients with the highest eosinophilic counts (>= 40 eosinophils/HPF) had the greatest sensitivity to airborne allergies in this retrospective review of patients with EoE.
