Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated condition characterized by the eosinophil infiltration of the esophagus (>15 per high power field). Recently, there has been an increase in both the incidence and prevalence of the disease. The common modalities of treatment are dietary modification, proton pump inhibitors, and steroids. However, the United States Food and Drug Administration has not approved any drugs for the treatment of EoE. This review has discussed the role of steroids in the treatment of EoE, focusing on the various formulations of the drug, its dosage, drug delivery, and duration of therapy. The study also covers the common outcomes of steroid therapy and its side effects.
