To achieve the above objective, we analyzed modern literary sources dealing with this issue.Results. We have reviewed the main clinical guidelines on this topic taking into account the comparison of methodological aspects, recommendations and their results, and highlighted the main problems associated with the diagnosis and treatment of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.Conclusion. Over the past years, the study of EoE has reached a qualitatively new level. However, the pathogenesis of eosinophilic esophagitis, as well as the methods of its diagnosis, treatment and prevention, are still at the stage of their deep study and improvement. The issue of eosinophilic esophagitis should be considered as an interdisciplinary one, since it involves the interaction of a pediatrician and/or therapist, allergist, gastroenterologist, nutritionist, endoscopist, and pathomorphologist.
