Treatment With High-dose Proton Pump Inhibitors Helps Distinguish Eosinophilic Esophagitis From Noneosinophilic Esophagitis
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 09/01/09

Sayej WN et al. – The study demonstrates that HDPPI can be used to help differentiate EE from NEE histologically. Moreover, patients with more than or equal to 15 eos/HPF at all 3 levels are less likely to respond to HDPPI than patients with more than or equal to 15 eos/HPF at fewer than 3 levels. Therefore, having more than or equal to 15 eos/HPF at 1 or 2 biopsy levels does not necessarily establish the diagnosis of EE. Symptomatic response to HDPPI does not correlate with histologic findings. Clinical management guided by EGD with biopsy helps distinguish patients with EE from those with NEE.
