[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare clinical condition of unknown aetiology and heterogenic etiopathology. Important differential diagnoses are intestinal parasitic infections, hypereosinophilic syndrome, malignancies such as lymphoma and allergic diseases. The diagnosis can be made in most cases by patient history, routine laboratory testing and endoscopic biopsies or paracentesis. Patients with only mild diarrhea can be treated with antidiarrheal medications. More symptomatic patients are usually treated with corticosteroids.Der Internist 09/2008; 49(11):1379-82. · 0.30 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Die eosinophile Gastroenteritis ist eine relativ seltene Erkrankung unklarer Ätiologie mit einem heterogenen Krankheitsbild. Wichtige Differenzialdiagnosen stellen intestinale parasitäre Infektionen, das hypereosinophile Syndrom, Lymphome und andere maligne und allergische Erkrankungen dar. Die Diagnose kann meist mittels Anamnese und Standardlabor, zusammen mit den Ergebnissen von Biopsien oder Parazentese gestellt werden. Milde Formen mit lediglich Diarrhö als klinischer Manifestation können symptombezogen behandelt werden. Die Therapie bei schwereren Verläufen erfolgt initial mit Kortikosteroiden.
