ABSTRACT

Introduction: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disease characterized by the presence of tissue eosinophilia, which affects the different layers of the intestinal wall.This type of gastritis is characterized by an intense eosinophilic infiltration that can affect only the gastric mucosa or all its layers up to the serosa. The clinical presentation differs on the position and extent of the eosinophil infiltration, as well as its depth through the bowel wall.
Objective: To present the case of a patient diagnosed and treated as eosinophilic gastritis.
Case report: A 47-year-old white male patient from Camagüey province, who attends the Gastroenterology Service of the Manuel Ascunce Domenech University Hospital, Camagüey province; in October 2019. He reported that during the last two months he had consulted primary care sporadically due to epigastric discomfort, these episodes subsided with short courses of antacids. The symptoms began to worsen and became more resistant to treatment, with nausea, vomiting and marked weight loss appearing. It was decided to start performing analytical studies on the patient.
Conclusions: The result of the histological study was a severe chronic inflammatory infiltrate with the presence of eosinophils more than 50% that extends to all layers with reactive glandular epithelium, concluding it as eosinophilic gastritis.
