Prevalence and Description of FIRE (Food Induced Immediate Response of the Esophagus) in the Pediatric Population With Eosinophilic Esophagitis

A new clinical entity of eosinophilic esophagitis, Food Induced Immediate Response of the Esophagus or FIRE, has been described since 2020. Diagnostic criteria are not clearly established. Specific questioning is necessary for differential diagnosis, such as the oro-pharyngeal syndrome notably described in pollinics, or a mechanical blockage strictly speaking linked to esophagitis. The aim is to obtain epidemiological data on this entity.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients over 6 and under 18 years of age at the time of inclusion * Follow-up in the allergology unit of Angers University Hospital for eosinophilic esophagitis Exclusion Criteria: * Patients or legal representative with severe communication or language comprehension difficulties * Patients or legal representatives objecting to study participation
