Fata eosinophilic enteritis. 1976

G N Tytgat, and R Grijm, and W Dekker, and N A Den Hartog

A patient is reported with eosinophilic enteritis of the jejunum with fatal evolution. Surgical resection was considered impossible and medical treatment with corticosteroids, elemental diet, parenteral nutrition, and antimicrobials to combat the intestinal bacterial overgrowth failed to control the disease. The destructive and fatal nature of the reported eosinophilic enteritis raises the problem of classification of such disease entity, refractory to corticosteroid therapy.
