Prospective assessment of serum periostin as a biomarker for diagnosis and monitoring of eosinophilic oesophagitis

Abstract

Serum periostin levels were similar in cases and controls, and there were no changes post-treatment. Given elevated IL-13 levels in the EoE patients with the highest periostin levels, future studies could explore periostin as a biomarker in EoE, perhaps in the setting of anti-IL-13 therapy.
