OVERVIEW
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are serious, chronic, inflammatory digestive disorders characterized by excessive infiltration of eosinophils into gastrointestinal (GI) tissues. Lengthy diagnostic delays are common and often result in disease progression and missed treatment opportunities. In this virtual, live CME event, 3 experts will discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of EGIDs below the esophagus. They will present the latest evidence for the efficacy of specialized diets and promising emerging pharmacologic agents that may soon alter the course of these diseases for many patients. As a bonus feature, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with faculty on a 1:1 basis to address case-based questions in virtual breakout rooms post-symposium. In order to attend this MedscapeLIVE! virtual CME symposium you will also need to complete your registration for DDW Virtual 2021. *Complimentary registration is available for Industry Symposia.
