    Abstract:
    Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon disorder, characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of gut wall, with variable clinical features, depending affected layer of the wall and digestive area, but usually consisting in abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting. Etiopathogenesis is unknown, with a frequent allergic condition and good response to corticosteroids therapy. Although the existence of eosinophilic gastroenteritis may be suggested by abdominal manifestations, an allergic history with laboratory date and ESR normal, only the antral or intestinal biopsy might to confirm the diagnostic. We report a case of a patient with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and history of bronchial asthma, without evidence of intestinal parasitosis, and a spectacular response to corticosteroids therapy.
