[Eosinophilic gastroenteritis with ascites: clinical case report].

Eosinophilic Gastroentertis (EG) is a very rare disease, characterized by focal or difuse eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical presentation is variable and depends on the histological and the extension layer involved. We report a case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis whose main presentation was ascites with peripheral eosinophilia and chronic intermittent diarrhea in a patient with a history of atopy.
