Neonatal eosinophilic oesophagitis

Description

Eosinophilic oesophagitis is an inflammatory condition, possibly caused by food allergy, in which the wall of the oesophagus becomes filled with a large number of eosinophils. It can be confused with acid reflux disease but it can be differentiated if neonate does not respond to anti-reflux medications.

Coding note from above levels

Conditions arising in the perinatal period, even though death or morbidity occurs later, should, as far as possible, be coded to chapter 19, which takes precedence over chapters containing codes for diseases by their anatomical site. For children less than 28 days old, assume that a reported condition developed in the perinatal period, unless the duration is stated and the onset was after the first completed week of life.
