title: Eosinophilic ureteritis associated with eosinophilic cholangitis: a case report.
abstract: Eosinophilic infiltrate of the urinary tract is rare. We report on a patient with eosinophilic cholangitis who later had eosinophilic ureteritis. This case emphasizes the potential serious nature of eosinophilic ureteritis, which often presents with complete ureteral obstruction. The literature pertaining to eosinophilic ureteritis and eosinophilic biliary disease is reviewed.
