Author's Response to Hopp's Commentary

We would thank Dr. Hopp for his interesting correspondence "A New Acronym for PPI-REE"?)1 in response to our summary of the new consensus agreement for the diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)2. One goal of the new guidelines was to simplify the diagnosis and terminology. In addition, the new diagnostic criteria were developed so that patients diagnosed with EoE with previous consensus guidelines would still be considered to have EoE. However, the proposed abbreviation of EoE-PPI-R (Eosinophilic Esophagitis-Proton Pump Inhibitor Responsive) seems to add extra complexity to the terminology.
