Eosinophilic gastroenteritis, eosinophilic cystitis, and ascites: A case report and review of the literature

Öz

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disorder characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. The organ most often involved is the stomach, followed by the small intestine and colon. The involvement of the bladder in eosinophilic gastroenteritis is extremely rare. In the literature, only six cases of eosinophilic gastroenteritis with associated eosinophilic cystitis have been reported. Cases who had peripheral hypereosinophilia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and ascites were effectively treated with steroids after other systemic disorders associated with peripheral eosinophilia were ruled out.
