    Author: Karande T, Oak SN, Trivedi A, Karmarkar S, Kulkarni B, Kalgutkar A.
    Journal: J Postgrad Med; 1996; 42(4):121-3. PubMed ID: 9715314.
    Abstract:
    Eosinophilic enteritis or gastroenteritis is a rare disease characterised by tissue eosinophilia which can affect different layers of bowel wall. It can affect any area of gastrointestinal tract from the esophagus to the rectum, although stomach and small intestine are sites most frequently reported. It is important to recognize this disease early and institute the necessary treatment. An eight year old girl presented with acute intestinal obstruction. Exploration revealed a structure of proximal jejunum. Histopathology demonstrated eosinophilic jejunitis. The case is reported owing to this rarity and relevant literature is reviewed.
