Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory condition of the esophagus characterized by eosinophilic infiltration, and hallmark symptoms of esophageal dysfunction such as dysphagia and food impaction. Over the past three decades, EoE has been recognized as a distinct clinical entity, distinguished from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) through advancements in diagnostic techniques, particularly endoscopy with biopsy. The rising global prevalence of EoE reflects enhanced diagnostic awareness, evolving criteria, and environmental along with lifestyle changes. The etiology of EoE is multifactorial, involving genetic predispositions, immune dysregulation, the gut microbiome, and environmental triggers, including dietary allergens and aeroallergens. Key mechanisms include a type 2 helper T-cell (Th2)-driven immune response, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and genetic variants such as
