Resumo

O objetivo deste artigo é revisar a literatura dos últimos 10 anos sobre esofagite eosinofílica (EoE) e descrever os conceitos atuais da doença em seus aspectos de definição, fisiopatologia, fatores de risco, quadro clínico, diagnóstico e tratamento. Foram pesquisados artigos na base de dados do PubMed, do Bireme/ LILACS e do SciELO, nos últimos 10 anos. Os critérios para a inclusão dos artigos foram: (a) publicação nos últimos 10 anos, (b) artigos originais, (c) apenas humanos, (d) artigos de revisão, (e) diretrizes. Os critérios de exclusão foram: (a) artigos que não continham como tema principal a EoE, (b) artigos repetidos, (c) descrição de casos, (d) artigos com abordagem muito específicas para tratamento e diagnóstico. Foi realizada leitura dos resumos por dois pesquisadores, e posterior seleção dos artigos completos para a leitura. Foram acrescentados estudos que aprofundavam aspectos cruciais da revisão, sendo incluídos, ao todo, 3 consensos, 35 estudos e 3 artigos de revisão, que constituíram o total de artigos analisados. A conclusão é de que a EoE é uma doença crônica, cujos aspectos clínicos são fundamentais para a suspeita diagnóstica, mas requer a associação de achados endoscópicos e histológicos para sua confirmação. Na última década, houve modificações significativas nos critérios diagnósticos e algumas novas recomendações no tratamento, mas que necessitam uma observação em longo prazo.

Abstract

The objective of this paper was to review literature on eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) published over the last 10 years and to describe current disease concepts related to definition, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. We searched the PubMed, Bireme/LILACS and SciELO databases for articles published in the last 10 years. The following inclusion criteria were used to select articles: (a) publication in the last 10 years; (b) original articles; (c) studies with humans only; (d) review articles; (e) guidelines. Exclusion criteria were: (a) articles that did not have EoE as the main subject; (b) repeated articles; (c) case reports; (d) articles addressing a very specific treatment or diagnostic technique. Abstracts were screened by two investigators, and articles meeting the criteria were selected for full-text reading. Any relevant studies addressing crucial aspects of the review were added to the sample, resulting in a total of 3 consensus articles, 35 original articles, and 3 review articles. The review showed that EoE is a chronic disease in which clinical aspects are essential for diagnostic suspicion, but associated endoscopic and histological findings are required to confirm diagnosis. Over the last 10 years, significant changes were observed in diagnostic criteria, and some new treatment recommendations emerged, however still requiring long-term follow-up.
