Pathological changes of the esophageal epithelium in EoE are characterized by basal cell hyperplasia (BCH), infiltration of eosinophils and elevated levels of cytokines (e.g…

Concomitant esophageal dysmotility can be present in up to 2/3 of patients with EoE and GERD. Esophageal dysmotility contribute to symptoms in these patients and can be a reason for a suboptimal response to therapy…

BACKGROUND: Novel treatment options for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are needed. Previous studies have assessed mepolizumab (mepo), a monoclonal antibody against IL-5, with mixed results in EoE, and the efficacy of mepo in an adult and adolescent population has yet to be fully examined…

EoE is a chronic, type 2 inflammatory esophageal disease associated with dysphagia, regurgitation, and food impaction. Diagnostic delays result in disease progression, including stricture formation…

SOCIETY: AGA The future of clinical approach to eosinophilic esophagitis

LIVE STREAM SESSION Despite advances in the understanding and treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), there continue to be controversies in the management of both adult and pediatric patients, such as the role of routine allergy testing, need for surveillance endoscopy, and selection of initia…
