Eosinophil Degranulation, Gastric Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin (gEDN) Levels and Dysphagia Score in Patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE)

Conclusions Esophageal eosinophil counts correlated with markers of eosinophilic degranulation. [...]gEDN was correlated with esophageal eosinophil counts and esophageal markers of degranulation, and patients' dysphagia score. gEDN is a good marker for assessing clinical severity of EE.
