EoETaly Guidelines Part-1

*Endoscopy should not be delayed when dysphagia, anemia, and/or weight loss are present. In case of non-diagnostic esophageal biopsies, repeat endoscopy off medications affecting esophageal eosinophil counts should be considered.
†The EREFS is useful to standardize description and severity assessment of endoscopic findings.
‡The EoEHSS is useful to recognize doubtful cases and assess severity and extent of EoE.
^$Consider other causes of secondary esophageal eosinophilia: GERD, esophageal candidiasis, esophageal motor disorders, systemic disorders, autoimmune disorders, Crohn’s disease
