May 22 is World EoE Day, part of National Eosinophil Awareness Week (May 17-23). The role of type 2 inflammation and its effect on allergic conditions is gaining recognition. Your College membership provides access to resources concerning Type 2 inflammation, the atopic march and EoE.
Type 2 inflammation resources
The Type 2 inflammation microsite has a full collection of collateral that addresses type 2 inflammation in general; the atopic march; and the individual conditions that can be caused by type 2 inflammation, such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, CRSwNP, food allergy and EoE.
Allergists/Immunologists—as well as primary care physicians, advanced practice nurses and patients/parents—will find the site’s interactive graphics, narrative information, patient journey videos, and symptom checklist informative.
The College’s teaching tools can help you teach your allergist colleagues and primary care physicians about the pathophysiology of TH2 disease and its role in various inflammatory conditions. The slide set and speaker guide can be personalized to meet your needs.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis resources
The College’s updated Topical Resources web page has a section on gastrointestinal diseases with guidelines for EoE.
Help your patients understand EoE and its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and management. The Type 2 inflammatory disease page on the College’s public website provides an overview of the Type 2 inflammation spectrum of conditions for patients and information seekers, with short, animated videos illustrating an adult’s journey with EoE and a child’s experience. The College’s public website also has a page dedicated to EoE.
The online EoE patient brochure in English and Spanish helps patients navigate the complexities of the disease.
The focus is on eosinophils this week! Use your College member resources to help unravel the complexities of type 2 inflammation, the atopic march and eosinophilic conditions.
