Description: The Type 2 inflammatory response plays a key role in several conditions, including atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and asthma. While these diseases may present differently, they share a common underlying pathway, creating opportunities for more targeted and effective treatments. Pediatricians are well versed in managing these conditions, and recognizing their interconnections can help optimize patient care.

Exciting advancements in treatment, including biologics and other innovative therapies, offer new hope for patients with more severe forms of Type 2 inflammatory diseases. While these treatments are typically initiated by subspecialists, pediatricians play a vital role in identifying patients who may benefit from these options and guiding them through the referral process.

This program will provide valuable insights into recognizing comorbidities, making informed treatment decisions, and ensuring timely referrals so that patients receive therapies that address the root cause of their disease, not just the symptoms.
