[Eosinophilic Esophagitis Update: New Guidelines of the European Study Group EUREOS]

Eosinophilic esophagitis is now considered to be a frequent chronic esophageal disease and is one of the most common causes for dysphagia and bolus obstruction in children and adults. The increasing significance and new scientific insights in this disorder required an update of currently existing guidelines. Therefore, the European Study Group of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EUREOS) has elaborated new guidelines for the management of eosinophilic esophagitis, based on a systematic literature search and, for the first time, using the GRADE methodology (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation). The aim of the present article is to summarize and comment on new developments and clinical recommendations of this guideline to further increase the awareness for this relevant esophageal disease.
