Longitudinal Enrichment of Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Children with AD: The MPAACH Cohort Introduction The atopic march refers to the natural history of the sequential development of atopic dermatitis (AD), food allergy (FA), asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) in childhood, but there is sig...

Critical New Finding: EoE in the atopic march

Key findings from MPAACH:
• AD in early life = risk factor for EoE
• All kids w/ EoE had ≥1 other allergic comorbidity

⚠️Clinical awareness & screening for EoE in allergic kids is crucial.

How do smoke and allergens trigger asthma?

Watch this short explainer to see how gasdermins, pyroptosis, cytokines, and immune cells contribute to asthma.
