Analysis: Since it was formally recognised in 1993, the chronic allergic disease Eosinophilic Oesophagitis has become increasingly prevalent in Ireland and around the world, and heavily impacts the quality of life for patients diagnosed.

Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE) is an emerging chronic allergic disease of the oesophagus and is more recognised now as an increasing clinical problem, affecting as many as 16 in 100,000 people in Europe.
