Eosinophilic esophagitis and duodenal food challenge - evaluation through endoscopic confocal laser endomicroscopy
CONCLUSION: The findings of our proof of concept study suggest that eCLE with DFC may be an interesting tool to further evaluate patients with EoE. This technique has the potential to identify patients who may benefit from an additional individual dietary therapy.PMID:37875128 | DOI:10.1055/a-2057-9125 (Source: Zeitschrift fur Gastroenterologie)
