RESUMEN
Se presentan dos pacientes con un diagnóstico de proctocolitis eosinofílica sin persistencia de la manifestación más típica, la rectorragia, aunque con perseverancia de su compromiso inflamatorio eosinofílico. A propósito de estos casos, se señala la importancia de evaluar otras manifestaciones menos relevantes como parte del seguimiento estricto de los pacientes, con el fin de decidir si necesitan colonoscopia y biopsias, así como de reorientar el manejo mediconutricional.
ABSTRACT
We present the cases of two patients diagnosed with eosinophilic proctocolitis without persistence of rectal bleeding which is the most typical manifestation but with perseverance of the eosinophilic inflammation. One purpose of presenting these cases is to emphasize the importance of assessing less relevant demonstrations as part of the strict monitoring of patients in order to decide whether they need colonoscopy and biopsies and to allow redirection of medical nutrition management.
