Esophagus Disease may Not be Detected by Biopsies
An existing diagnostic method may not be able to detect an elusive digestive disorder that causes swelling in the esophagus and painful swallowing, University of Utah engineers have revealed. By pinpointing the location and density of eosinophils, which regulate allergy mechanisms in the immune system, these researchers suggest the disease eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE, may be under- or misdiagnosed in patients using the current method, which is to take tissue ...
