Airborne and food sensitization patterns in children and adults with eosinophilic esophagitis

Abstract

EoE and control groups had similar airborne allergen sensitization patterns, yet dissimilar food allergen sensitization patterns, suggesting that specific allergens may play a more prominent role in the pathogenesis of EoE. The EoE group had a more uniform distribution pattern for food allergens, compared to controls.

Management of eosinophilic esophagitis in children according to atopic status: A retrospective cohort in northeast of France

“…Symptoms of allergic rhinitis could have been less investigated by the pediatrician than other atopic disorders and therefore under-reported in medical reports. Our findings regarding the sensitization rates of EoE patients in food and airborne allergens (64 in both groups) were consistent with published reports in the EoE pediatric population [12,19,29].…”

A “golden age” in skull base and rhinology research

“…Dr. Lee stressed that more prospective studies are needed now that there are other options available which offer single‐antigen therapy such as sublingual immunotherapy tablets. He et al . examine the patterns between aeroallergen and food allergen sensitivity and eosinophilic esophagitis.…”
