Abstract
|
|
|
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of various areas of gastrointestinal tract with gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and rarely ascites. Although its
pathogenesis
and natural course was not well defined, the main stay of treatment has been steroid administration with or without surgery. We experienced a cases of diffuse eosinophilic gastroenteritis and serositis with massive ascites, which showed complete
remission after conservative management such as NPO and TPN without steroid. This cases suggests a speculation of pathogenesis in relation to the food allergy and self-limited natural course of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. (Korean J
