Summary
This study checks if a simple, low-cost string test can diagnose eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a condition that causes trouble swallowing. Currently, diagnosis requires a camera tube down the throat (endoscopy). The string test involves swallowing a capsule with a string that collects fluid from the esophagus. Researchers will compare the string test results with standard endoscopy in 70 African adults with swallowing problems in Mali and the U.S. If accurate, the string test could make diagnosis easier in places with limited access to specialized care.
