Abstract
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disease, characterized by eosinophilic infiltrates in the intestinal layers. Its etiology is not well known. A biopsy is mandatory for accurate diagnosis. Clinical presentation is variable and can be seen in numerous diseases. There are no pathognomonic findings. Serosal-type involvement is the rarest and usually is associated with ascites. In this case, we report a 21-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting and ascites. Diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis was made after eliminating broad-spectrum mimicking causes of tissue eosinophilia. The patient recovered completely after treatment with steroids.
