Summary

This study aims to see if a simple, low-cost esophageal string test can accurately diagnose eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a condition causing swallowing trouble. Researchers will compare the string test results with standard endoscopy in 70 African adults with dysphagia in Mali and the U.S. If effective, this test could make diagnosis easier in areas with limited access to specialized care.
