Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a clinicopathological condition requiring frequent upper endoscopy (EGD) with several biopsies and time-consuming histopathological diagnosis. We acquired in vivo fingerprint and high wavenumber Raman spectra from the esophageal mucosa of children undergoing EGD and assessed the efficacy of this non-obtrusive real-time approach for determining EoE activity. Spectral bands related to lipids (e.g., 1078, 1301, 1440, 2855cm-1), proteins (e.g., 935, 1003, 1342, 2931cm-1), and water (3075-3650cm-1) were found to differentiate between active, inactive, and non-EoE patients. The results from this study indicate that RS is a promising method for point-of-care assessment of EoE.
