J Allergy Clin Immunol Glob. 2024 Jul 26;3(4):100314. doi: 10.1016/j.jacig.2024.100314. eCollection 2024 Nov.

Abstract

We present the first case of a dupilumab-induced hyperinflammatory state in the setting of underlying eosinophilic esophagitis characterized by multisystem granulomatous inflammation. Although clinical trial data and subsequent real-world experience support dupilumab as a highly effective therapy for eosinophilic esophagitis, close monitoring for development of adverse symptoms following initiation remains paramount.

Keywords: Dupilumab; adverse effect; biologics; eosinophilic esophagitis; granuloma.
