Greg JohnsonHOST
Dellen is the director of the University of North Carolina Center for Esophageal Diseases and Swallowing.
Greg JohnsonHOST
He says that when these allergy cells continue to get triggered, they build up and create a long-term immune system condition called eosinophilic esophagitis, or EOE.
Evan DellonGUEST
And when I talk to patients, I often make the analogy to asthma of the esophagus or eczema of the esophagus.
Evan DellonGUEST
And what happens is that allergy cells, which should not normally be in the esophagus, get in there.
Evan DellonGUEST
And that leads to symptoms like difficulty swallowing or pain with swallowing.
Evan DellonGUEST
And oftentimes these symptoms can disrupt daily life.
Greg JohnsonHOST
Though EOE used to be considered pretty rare, it's now one of the fastest growing digestive diseases.
Greg JohnsonHOST
Dellen says there are a few factors influencing this rise.
Robin HofmannGUEST
And that was another thing.
Robin HofmannGUEST
And there are crew members every once in a while now that are like, oh, I have a gentleman that I worked with who has EOE.
Robin HofmannGUEST
I have a woman who has Hashimoto's.
Robin HofmannGUEST
So other people have to eat gluten-free too.
Chris VernonHOST
You're not helping the whole, like, all these, like, summer arguments that are going on, especially with these new kids that are playing one-on-one, all this stuff.
Chris VernonHOST
Because, like, that guy that was EOE, of course he picked the short white guy, TJ McConnell, and...
Chris VernonHOST
And, I mean, I was very proud of the NBA.
Chris VernonHOST
That was one thing where they could all come together and all those NBA guys, all of them, were like, this dude is a nutcase.
Taylor DohertyGUEST
And during fellowship, I was doing a consult for a severe asthmatic exacerbation at Rady Children's Hospital.
Taylor DohertyGUEST
And I remember rounding with Dr. Seema Sevez, who the world of our field knows for her EOE research.
Taylor DohertyGUEST
But she had mentioned something very interesting about potential triggers for this particular child in terms of what might have triggered the exacerbation.
Taylor DohertyGUEST
And I had never heard anything about different fungi as allergens.
Lisa SwansonGUEST
So if you start dupilumab when a child is young, it decreases the risk of asthma and food allergy.
Lisa SwansonGUEST
I think we could translate that also to mean potentially a decreased risk of EOE, eosinophilic esophagitis.
Lisa SwansonGUEST
I had a patient recently, a little six-month-old baby boy with probably mild to moderate eczema.
Lisa SwansonGUEST
Dad is on Doopie.
Lisa SwansonGUEST
He has atopic dermatitis, asthma, urticaria, EOE.
Lisa SwansonGUEST
He has the whole gambit.
Lisa SwansonGUEST
Oh, gosh.
13 MINS LATER
Lisa SwansonGUEST
And I have found that talking about growth with patients' parents moves the needle, pun intended, better than talking about any other thing.
Anne GriffithsGUEST
Right, that comorbid T2 disease.
Anne GriffithsGUEST
I like to think a lot about are these children who had eczema early on or are we looking at teenagers and adults now with nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis, perhaps eosinophilic esophagitis, which we're learning more and more about that overlap with EOE in allergic inflammation and type 2 inflammation.
Anne GriffithsGUEST
And that helps me think through if they have more than one manifestation, I'll say, of that type two inflammation, that can help guide me to a biologic choice that maybe tailors treatment to address more than one presentation of their inflammation.
Nicole ChaseGUEST
Those are all really great points.
Njira LugogoGUEST
And so we need to really be screening for these T2 comorbidities.
Njira LugogoGUEST
If a patient comes to me with asthma, I'm asking questions to discern whether they have polyps, EoE, allergic conditions, or dermatitis, as I might need to bring in some of those other team members to help.
Njira LugogoGUEST
I need to think about these comorbidities as they could be used to decide which biologic to use, and I want to match the biologic selection to the patient's profile.
Njira LugogoGUEST
And of course, that shared decision-making is quite critical.
