AGA and the Joint Task Force on Allergy-Immunology Practice Parameters release guideline on the management of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for allergists and gastroenterologists focusing on the clinical management of EoE for pediatric and adult patients.

Learning objectives

• Understand that topical steroids are recommended as a first-line treatment for EoE.
• Explain proton pump inhibition (PPI) therapy, diet therapy and esophageal dilation as treatment options.
• Understand that the use of novel, targeted biologic therapies for EoE are being actively evaluated and more research is needed before these can be recommended.
