Quantification of the duodenal eosinophil content in adults: a necessary step for an evidence ‐based diagnosis of duodenal eosinophilia

ConclusionsThis study suggests that in this diverse US population, a cut‐off count of 20 eos/hpf would be useful to separate patients with normal from those with elevated duodenal eosinophilic infiltrations. The clinical implications of duodenal eosinophilia, particularly when it is not an expression of eosinophilic gastroenteritis, remain to be established.
