Sustained Remission of Eosinophilic Esophagitis Following Discontinuation of Dietary Elimination in Children

Assaf Hoofien et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2020 Jan.

Abstract

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), when left untreated, may progress from an inflammatory to a fibrostenotic phenotype. Inflammation generally recurs after treatment withdrawal. Thus, long-term treatment has been recommended. Here, we describe a cohort of children with EoE who achieved clinical and histologic remission with elimination diets, and maintained sustained untreated remission (SUR) despite re-introduction of all eliminated food allergens.
