BACKGROUND: White specks in the esophageal mucosa have been observed in children
with eosinophilic esophagitis. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship
between white specks in the esophageal mucosa and allergic (non-reflux) eosinophilic
esophagitis. METHODS: Endoscopic data, pH probe results, and histopathology reports for
children with esophageal endoscopic abnormalities seen during a 17-month period were
reviewed. Eosinophilic esophagitis was grouped according to the number of eosinophils per …
