| Abstract |
|
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon disease of unknown cause characterized by eosinophilic infiltration in
various areas of the gastrointestinal tract with gastrointestinal symptoms. It is generally classified according to the layer
of the gastrointestinal tract involved. Eosinophilic infiltration of the serosa is the rarest form of presentation and may
manifest eosinophilic ascites. We report a case of a 29-year-old woman who experienced rapidly progressing abdominal
distension and pain. A diffuse erythematous change of the gastric mucosa was observed on gastroscopy. An abdominal
computed tomography and colonoscopy showed diffuse wall thickening of the small bowel and colon with a large amount
of ascites. Eosinophilic infiltration was confirmed by multiple biopsies of the gastrointestinal tract and peritoneal fluid
analysis. The patient was treated with corticosteroid and responded dramatically.(Korean J Med 73:535-538, 2007) |
