title: A case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
abstract: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disorder characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall and various gastrointestinal manifestations. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and exclusion of various disorders that are associated with peripheral eosinophilia. We report on a woman who had a short history of abdominal pain and ascites, and who responded dramatically to a course of low-dose steroid.
