Abstract

We read with great interest the article by Muir et al1 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. By using the Esophageal String Test (EST), Muir et al1 highlight the key role of endoluminal periostin (POSTN) in tissue remodeling and fibrosis development in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). POSTN detection through EST seems to be a valuable alternative to invasive endoscopy; nevertheless, routinely adopting EST in the clinical care setting remains challenging.
