Résumé
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus triggered by food and aeroallergens. There is a need for noninvasive biomarkers that reliably detect EoE in patients with cardinal symptoms and predict treatment response to reduce endoscopic evaluations. Nonasthmatic patients 18 years or above with suspected or diagnosed EoE, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and control individuals with indication for endoscopy were enrolled prospectively between November 2020 and May 2022. Participants underwent body plethysmography with fractionated exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) level measurement. Besides, serum and fecal biomarkers were measured by ELISA. A follow-up examination was scheduled after treatment initiation in patients with active EoE. The median FeNO level in active EoE (20 ppb) was higher compared with GERD (15 ppb, P=0.038) and control individuals (14 ppb, P=0.046). Median FeNO did not significantly differ in EoE patients who underwent follow-up assessment after treatment response (20 ppb vs. 18 ppb, P=0.771). Serum EDN, ECP, and the absolute eosinophil blood count (AEC) were elevated in active EoE compared with control individuals but not compared with GERD except for AEC. Serum EDN, ECP and AEC decreased in EoE in remission at follow-up assessment. None of the fecal biomarkers was elevated in active EoE or during treatment. Assessment of FeNO may have diagnostic value in differentiating patients with active EoE from non-EoE patients but is not a suitable marker for monitoring disease activity. Serum EDN, ECP, TARC, and AEC levels are emerging as potential candidates for monitoring disease activity in EoE.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus triggered by food and aeroallergens. There is a need for noninvasive biomarkers that reliably detect EoE in patients with cardinal symptoms and predict treatment response to reduce endoscopic evaluations.
STUDY
METHODS
Nonasthmatic patients 18 years or above with suspected or diagnosed EoE, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and control individuals with indication for endoscopy were enrolled prospectively between November 2020 and May 2022. Participants underwent body plethysmography with fractionated exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) level measurement. Besides, serum and fecal biomarkers were measured by ELISA. A follow-up examination was scheduled after treatment initiation in patients with active EoE.
RESULTS
RESULTS
The median FeNO level in active EoE (20 ppb) was higher compared with GERD (15 ppb, P=0.038) and control individuals (14 ppb, P=0.046). Median FeNO did not significantly differ in EoE patients who underwent follow-up assessment after treatment response (20 ppb vs. 18 ppb, P=0.771). Serum EDN, ECP, and the absolute eosinophil blood count (AEC) were elevated in active EoE compared with control individuals but not compared with GERD except for AEC. Serum EDN, ECP and AEC decreased in EoE in remission at follow-up assessment. None of the fecal biomarkers was elevated in active EoE or during treatment.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Assessment of FeNO may have diagnostic value in differentiating patients with active EoE from non-EoE patients but is not a suitable marker for monitoring disease activity. Serum EDN, ECP, TARC, and AEC levels are emerging as potential candidates for monitoring disease activity in EoE.
