For Healthcare Professionals
The Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders brings together experts in allergy / immunology, gastroenterology, social work, nutrition and pathology to evaluate, treat and study these chronic medical problems in children. To help patients and families affected by eosinophilic disorders, our team offers a number of services.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Diagnostic Criteria and Recommendations
The first consensus recommendations for eosinophilic esophagitis were derived from the first symposium held by The International Gastrointestinal Eosinophil Researchers (TIGER), which was comprised of several members of the CCED faculty. These guidelines were published in 2007 as Eosinophilic esophagitis in children and adults: a systematic review and consensus recommendations for diagnosis and treatment.
These original consensus guidelines for eosinophilic esophagitis were reviewed and updated in 2011 and published as Eosinophilic esophagitis: updated consensus recommendations for children and adults, with several members of the CCED faculty contributing in this endeavor.
Initial Evaluation at the CCED
The patient’s initial evaluation may take four to five days, depending on the needs of the patient. Our office will facilitate gathering medical history and information, determine the needed specialists for care and schedule the evaluations.
