Comorbid Diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the Pediatric Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The incidence and prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are rising with similar patterns. Co-occurrence of both diseases in the same patient has been increasingly reported. We sought to examine the pediatric population with both EoE and IBD to better understand the epidemiology and clinical implications of this overlap.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective case-control study at 2 tertiary care children's hospitals. Subjects with both EoE and IBD were identified and compared with randomly selected controls with EoE and IBD alone in terms of: demographics, atopic conditions, IBD classification, location and phenotype of Crohn disease (CD), IBD medications, endoscopic findings, and histopathology.
