404 Allergen Specific Immunotherapy as a Treatment for Eosinophilic Esophagitis

these were similar between all groups.When comparisons were made between the groups, these areas showed statistically significant differences: 1) Practitioners who see more patients with EoE more frequently were more likely to perform testing for immediate hypersensitivities to aeroallergens and foods. 2) Practitioners who participate more often in workshops were less likely to perfrom patch testing for foods. Conclusions: Our survey reveals that allergy practitioners worldwide are following patients with EoE. Practitioners who see more patients with EoE more frequently are more likely to perform allergy testing in form of hypersensitivity testing to both aeroallergens and foods. This could be secondary to participation in educational sessions or more interest in searching the literature. Participation in workshops has an inverse relation to performing patch testing for foods, which may show that current education does not support this practice. In order to have a more uniform approach to patients with EoE, a consensus guideline is prudential.
