ABSTRACT
Primary eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare inflammatory disorder of gastrointestinal tract characterized by symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and eosinophilic infiltration of the intestinal wall with or without peripheral eosinophilia. We found four cases with different causes of eosinophilic enteritis with varying manifestations ranging from chronic diarrhea with malabsorption, dysphagia, and gastric outlet obstruction due to mass-like lesions.

idiopathic CD4(+) lymphocytopenia (ICL) is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of depleted CD4 cell line without the presence of HIV infection. Slight male preponderance is noticed and is usually seen in the middle age group. Opportunistic infections are the reason for their discovery and here we describe a case where a man was diagnosed as having Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia and oral candidiasis.
