Immunvermittelte Ösophagitiden

In den letzten 25 Jahren wurden zwei neue entzündliche Erkrankungen des Ösophagus, die eosinophile Ösophagitis und die lymphozytäre Ösophagitis, beschrieben. Bei beiden konnten die Ursachen des chronischen Entzündungsprozesses bisher jedoch nicht geklärt werden. Dieser Übersichtsartikel fasst den derzeitigen Kenntnisstand zu Epidemiologie, Pathophysiologie, Diagnostik und Therapie der beiden Erkrankungen zusammen.
