Eosinophillic
Esophagitis
- Isolated inflammation of esophagus by eosinophils
related to food ingestion - Young children – feeding refusal, FTT
- School-age children – recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain
- Older children – dysphagia, choking, food impaction
History and physical examination
similar history and exam to GERD
Eosinophillic
Esophagitis
dx studies?
- upper endoscopy/biopsy
Management for Eosinophillic
Esophagitis?
- Referral to pediatric GI
- 6-food elimination diet: milk, soy, egg, wheat, peanut/tree nuts, and fish/shellfish
- Allergy testing and targeted elimination diet
- PPIs; topical swallowed steroids (See chart on last page)

What is peptic ulcer disease?

What is primary peptic ulcer disease?
- Most duodenal with no underlying cause
- Tend to recur; more common in adolescents
What is secondary peptic ulcer disease?
- More often gastric; usually more acute
- Associated with ulcerogenic events
- Head trauma, severe burns, corticosteroid and NSAID use
- Idiopathic ulcers
- Occur in HP-negative children with no history of NSAIDs
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
rare; refractory PUD caused by gastric hypersecretion from autonomous secretion by neuroendocrine tumor
What is the history for peptic ulcer disease?
- Vague, dull abdominal pain most common
- Symptoms may wax and wane
- Pain with eating; can awaken from sleep
- GI tract bleeding
- Poor feeding, slow growth in infants
- Poorly localized pain in older children
