From: Benralizumab treatment in an elderly patient with eosinophilic esophagitis resulted in remission: a case report

Fig. 3

The clinical course of dysphagia, peripheral blood eosinophils, and prednisolone dosage, when her dysphagia became particularly severe. The date of her emergency hospitalization for exacerbation of dysphagia was represented as X. After her EoE was identified, prednisolone dosage was elevated, and liquid budesonide oral suspension was started; however, her dysphagia was further exacerbated. As a result, we started treatment of benralizumab 5 months following the date of her emergency hospitalization (= X). Then, the dysphagia subsided within 2 weeks, and prednisolone was terminated 29 months after the start of benralizumab. Moreover, benralizumab was also terminated after a total of 41 months, and her symptoms have remained in remission for more than 12 months
