Active EoE is associated with more and deeper epithelial eosinophil, mast cell, and T cell infiltration; inactive EoE resembles controls. During remission, PPI treatment leaves more tissue resident CD3+ T‐cells than TS. In active EoE, TH2 cells, IL‐10hi Tregs, and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells are enriched, while TH17 cells are relatively depleted.
