Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), also known as the "asthma of the esophagus," is a chronic condition rooted in allergies and immune responses. It shares numerous clinical and pathophysiological features with asthma. This ailment is characterized by inflammation in the esophagus, making it an atopic inflammatory disorder of this organ.
