Abstract
|
|
|
|
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is a rare inflammatory disorder that predominantly affects the stomach and the small intestine, although its pathogenesis is not yet known precisely. EGE shows distinct peripheral eosinophilia and eosinophilic infiltration of the intestinal wall. A 12-month-old girl who was breastfeeding presented with bilateral eyelid swelling without gastrointestinal symptom. Laboratory examination showed peripheral eosinophilia and hypoalbuminemia and iron deficiency anemia. Gastric and duodenal biopsy specimens revealed eosinophilic infiltration of the mucosal layer. We experienced a case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis without any gastrointestinal symptom, associated with maternal food contained allergen.
