Treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has progressed from elemental formula for children and esophageal dilation for adults to selective exclusion of food triggers and swallowed topical corticosteroids. Management guidelines are available from the American Gastroenterological Association and the Joint Task Force on Allergy Immunology Practice Parameters. We cannot, however, evaluate the efficacy of treatments without a definition of response. We propose a treat to target approach, based on symptoms and findings from endoscopy and histology.
