Case description

Endoscopic features of Eosinophilic Gastritismay include prominent mucosal folds, hyperemia, ulcerations or nodularity. Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal disorder (EGID) is an uncommon and rarely reported disorder affecting various parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The disease is defined as a disorder characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of one or more areas of GI tract in the absence of any known cause of eosinophilia and exclusion of eosinophilic infiltrations in organs other than gut. Depending upon the area involved, the disease can present as eosinophilic esophagitis, oeosinophilic gastritis (EG), eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) or eosinophilic colitis.
