Abstract
Our knowledge of the pathophysiology of eosinophilic esophagitis is constantly evolving. There is significant association between eosinophilic esophagitis and atopy; however, multiple studies have refuted the role of IgE in its pathogenesis. Instead, new data have demonstrated an elevated IgG4 level in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis. We review the current understanding of eosinophilic esophagitis pathogenesis and highlight the increasing evidence for the role of IgG4.
