Eosinophilic esophagitis with refractory response in a pediatric patient: A case report
Background: The treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is based on diets or drugs, with either being the first choice. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or swallowed topical corticosteroids (STC) are classically used, and more recently the use of dupilumab has been described as a therapeutic option....

| Summary: | Background: The treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is based on diets or drugs, with either being the first choice. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or swallowed topical corticosteroids (STC) are classically used, and more recently the use of dupilumab has been described as a therapeutic option.
Case report: A pediatric patient with difficult-to-manage eosinophilic esophagitis, diagnosed before the age of 2 years, in which the simultaneous use of triple pharmacological therapy (Dupilumab, PPI and STC) has been necessary for the histological control of the disease.
Conclusions: It is a case of interest since in current guidelines the use of combined pharmacological therapies is not recommended or fully described. In addition, it is a case in which a good response to treatment with dupilumab is observed despite not meeting the indication criteria of the pharmacological label, in terms of age and weight.
