Eosinophilic ascitis, an unusual presentation of eosinophilic gastro-enteritis.
Journal of the Indian Medical Association 2014 Februrary
Eosinophilic ascitis is probably the most unusual and rare presentation of eosinophilic gastroenteritis and is generally associated with the serosal form of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. It is characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of any or all layers of the gut wall and may involve any segment of the gastro-intestinal tract. Peripheral eosinophilia may or may not be present. A case of eosinophilic ascitis that developed eight weeks postpartum in a 30-year-old young female has been reported. She presented with gastro-intestinal symptoms, ascitis and right sided pleurar effusion. Bood counts, ascitic fluid analysis and bone marrow examination showed evidence of eosinophilia. On high index of suspiscion, she was evaluated for eosinophilic gastroenteritis and treated with oral steroid (prednisolone). She responded well with satisfactory recovery.
