About the Type 2 Inflammation Patient Navigator

Education, information, and tools.

The aim of this patient education platform is to create more awareness about Eosinophilic Driven Diseases (Type 2 inflammation) and to provide a deeper understanding of what eosinophil-driven type II inflammation diseases are, what the potential treatment options are and which patient organizations provide support for these diseases.

The science of type II inflammation is evolving in areas like COPD and bullous pemphigoid; therefore, not all conditions are fully understood or explained in this tool.

What the Type 2 Inflammatory or Eosinophilic-Driven diseases are?

Eosinophil-Driven Diseases (EDDs) are Type 2 Inflammatory Diseases, that can take several forms. Elevated eosinophils play a crucial role in EDDs. Eosinophilic immune dysfunction is responsible for the recruitment and activation of eosinophils.

It is a systemic allergic response due to an overreactive immune response, causing asthmatic problems and other diseases. The immune system, lungs, gut/stomach, and skin can be affected in different ways. More information: https://gaapp.org/eosinophil-driven-diseases-introduction/
