Funded Activity Summary

Eosinophilic esophagitis is an allergic condition that causes difficulty swallowing food and chest discomfort.Current diagnostic methods are inaccurate, and treatments are not curative. This project aims to clarify the role of promising new diagnostic techniques and to delineate the significance of aeroallergens (e.g. pollens) with a view to improving the treatment of eosinophilc esophagitis in the future. It is possible that simply avoiding pollens or treating hayfever in the future may be all that is required to manage this condition.
