Audit of eosinophilic oesophagitis in children post-liver transplant
Pediatric Transplantation, 11/06/09

Noble C et al. – In the 159 children who received DD OLT, 130 survived and four have been diagnosed with EE. Only 34 are currently followed in Queensland and all four patients diagnosed are in this cohort representing 12% of the follow–up clinic. Many patients are followed elsewhere so occurrence of EE in the total surviving population is an underestimate. EE is clinically important in the post–liver transplant community. Children post–OLT who have upper GI symptoms should be considered for endoscopic evaluation and biopsy to exclude EE.
