pubmed:abstractText
A 25-year-old man with a 1 year history of episodic abdominal pain presented with splenomegaly, eosinophilic ascites and peripheral eosinophilia. Full-thickness biopsies from his gastrointestinal tract revealed intense eosinophilic infiltration involving both muscular and serosal layers and extending from his stomach to his ileum. When given oral steroids, the patient's condition improved and he was discharged without symptoms. Eighteen months later, he remains asymptomatic and without recurrence of ascites or splenomegaly. This report adds to the scarce data on extraintestinal involvement in eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Special attention is drawn to the differential diagnosis of eosinophilic ascites and to the optimal approach to its management.
