  • Title: Ascites: an unusual presentation of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in a child.
    Author: Menon J, Venkatesh V, Bhatia A, Rana SS, Lal SB.
    Journal: Trop Doct; 2020 Jul; 50(3):277-279. PubMed ID: 32178592.
    Abstract:
    Eosinophilic ascites, owing to serosal involvement, is a very rare manifestation of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in children, especially when it occurs with muscular involvement in the absence of mucosal disease, which may be confirmed by endoscopic ultrasonography. An 11-year-old girl, presenting with massive eosinophilic ascites and colicky abdominal pain with peripheral eosinophilia, raised IgE levels and positive skin prick test, had such investigation which confirmed the presence of muscle layer thickening of both stomach and small bowel. She responded well to steroids and montelukast.
