  • Title: Ascites and eosinophilic colitis in a young patient.
    Author: Yassin MA, Khan FY, Al-Ani A, Fawzy Z, Al-Bozom IA.
    Journal: Saudi Med J; 2005 Dec; 26(12):1983-5. PubMed ID: 16380787.
    Abstract:
    A 32-year-old man presented with 3-weeks history of abdominal pain and distention. Physical examination showed ascites, with no stigmata of chronic liver disease. Cytological preparations from the ascitic fluid showed a heavy population of mature eosinophils. Histological examination of colonic biopsies revealed a heavy expansion of the mucosa by sheaths of eosinophils. On the following days, the peripheral eosinophilia, ascites and abdominal pain resolved spontaneously.
