AI Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) can worsen from inflammation to a more severe form if not properly treated, leading to long-term management recommendations.
- A group of children with EoE successfully achieved both clinical and histologic remission by following elimination diets.
- Remarkably, these children maintained sustained untreated remission even after reintroducing all previously eliminated food allergens.
Article 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.

Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic condition caused by eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus, mainly triggered by food and air allergens.
- A 4-year-old boy diagnosed with EoE showed improvement with topical steroids, and by age 7, he also developed a grass pollen allergy.
- Significant increases in eosinophil counts and pediatric symptom scores were noted from winter to spring, suggesting that environmental allergens may play a role in EoE, which could influence treatment timing and strategies during allergy seasons.
