Eosinophilic gastroenteritis

A rare benign gastrointestinal disease characterized by the presence of abnormal and nonspecific gastro-intestinal (GI) manifestations, associated with an eosinophilic infiltration of the GI tract, which can affect several segments and involve several layers within the GI wall.

Protein-losing enteropathy

Abnormal loss of protein from the digestive tract related to excessive leakage of plasma proteins into the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract.

The case report illustrates that remission of protein-losing enteropathy secondary to eosinophilic gastroenteritis can be achieved with budesonide, thus supporting its use for this uncommon disease characterised by inflammatory intestinal lesions.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis in extreme allergy. Immunopathological comparison with nonallergic gastrointestinal disease.
Caldwell JH, Sharma HM, Hurtubise PE, Colwell DL.
Gastroenterology. 1979;77(3):560-4.
Intestinal mucosal biopsy immunoglobulin content in a patient with eosinophilia, allergic gastroenteropathy (atopy, food sensitivities, protein-losing enteropathy, iron deficiency anemia, and growth retardation), and hyperimmunoglobulinemia E (68,000 units) was compared with that of a control group and a group with eosinophilic gastroenteritis who had no atopic features.
