Through good anecdotal evidence, the interesting case report by Krishna and associates proposes that viscous budesonide should comprise first-line treatment for patients with
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine response to two topical steroids (fluticasone and budesonide), compare their efficacy, and examine patient characteristics which

While effective in the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children, limited data exists on long-term safety and efficacy of swallowed topical corticosteroids
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic clinical-pathologic disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal epithelium with esophageal dysfunction symptoms
Off-label, EoE is currently treated by the three D’s, which are drugs (particularly swallowed topical corticosteroids), dietary restriction and endoscopic dilation
