Zusammenfassung:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic antigen-driven disease of the esophagus diagnosed by both clinical and pathological features. Current treatments include proton pump inhibitors, elimination diets, and swallowed steroids. This study discusses a young boy with cow's milk-mediated EoE who remained in remission after a 6-week baked cheese challenge following the successful completion of a 6-week baked milk challenge. To our knowledge, there are currently no reported cases of successful remission of milk-triggered EoE after a baked cheese challenge.
