University of Parma Researchers Publish Findings in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (Eosinophilic esophagitis and inhalant antigens: Pointing out the roles of allergic rhinitis, immunotherapy and biologic treatment).

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Parma in Italy explores the relationship between eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and allergic rhinitis (AR). The study suggests that AR may contribute to the development and exacerbation of EoE through local and systemic mechanisms. The researchers also discuss the potential use of allergen immunotherapy and monoclonal antibodies as treatment options for EoE and AR. The study emphasizes the need for further research to better understand the causative relationship between airborne antigens, AR, and EoE, as well as to develop comprehensive treatments.
