Background and Aims Assessing eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) activity from limited
esophageal mucosal biopsy samples has been questioned. Here our aim was to compare
mucosal impedance (MI) throughout the esophagus and eosinophil counts in endoscopic
biopsy samples in EoE. Methods We compared 20-site MI using a balloon catheter in the
esophagus and eosinophils per high-power field (eos/HPF) in esophageal mucosal biopsy
samples. Data are summarized as median (interquartile range) comparing control subjects …
