Popis: OBJECTIVES Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by remissions and relapses. Guidelines defining remission do not exist and therefore remission is inconsistently identified. We sought to define histology remission in EoE. METHODS Esophageal biopsies, obtained at the time the validated pediatric EoE symptoms scores v2.0 (PEESS v2.0) questionnaire was completed (N = 42), were scored using the validated EoE Histology Scoring System. An EoE Histology Remission Score (EoEHRS) was constructed and specified that in all esophageal sites sampled the peak eosinophil count was
