Eosinophilic gastroenteritis: report of two cases and comment on the literature
Eur J Surg.
1992 Aug.
Abstract
Two cases of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) are reported. One recovered spontaneously, the other relapsed after bowel resection. Comments outline the immunological processes. They relate EGE to the hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and other collagenous diseases. Bowel resection is discouraged in favor of more conservative treatment.
