Abstract
The studies are quite heterogeneous with respect to their methodology and the biomarker(s) studied, but most have investigated tissue biomarkers. Eotaxin-3 and IL-13 have emerged as the most promising ones with respect to sensitivity and degree of positive correlation to disease process. Future research on biomarkers for EoE should include longitudinal studies, establishment of normal values, effects of concomitant atopic diseases, age and gender, and validation of methodology of the tests.
