ABSTRACT

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a relatively uncommon disease of unknown etiology. Eosinophilic ascites resulting from significant serosal involvement is the rarest clinical subtype. The case reported here is of a 30-year-old male presenting with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and ascites. His personal history included childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis, and recurrent urticaria. The clinical picture was characterized by peripheral eosinophilia and eosinophilic infiltrates of the stomach and small bowel. Computed tomogram (CT) of the abdomen showed generalized thickening of the gastric and small bowel wall. Paracentesis revealed exudative ascites rich in eosinophils. The patient experienced an impressive response to steroid therapy.
