Eosinophilic esophagitis is a newly diagnosed esophageal disease in adult and children.The clinical and pathological characteristics of this disease have been established and were recently summarized in the expert clinical guideline published in 2011.In spite of the wide knowledge accumulated on this disease,there are many areas where scientific data are missing,especially in regard to the disease's pathophysiology.Recent publications have suggested that other confounding factors modify the disease and may affect its clinicalphenotypic presentation.Those factors may include place of living,air pollution,race,genetic factors and other.In the present report we discussed and review those confounding factors,the new developments,and what direction we should go to further advance our knowledge of this disease.
