Unusual cause of acute abdominal pain: Eosinophilic colitis case report and review of the literature

S Bouchrit*, A Ait Errami, Z Samlani, S Oubaha and K Krati

Eosinophilic colitis is an exceptionally rare condition, the clinical symptoms is polymorphic and non-specific. The diagnosis is based on the grouping of endoscopic and essentially histological, clinical arguments. We describe the case of a male patient with eosinophilic colitis revealed by bloody mucous diarrhea and acute abdominal pain.

The diagnosis has been made after eliminating the parasitic, inflammatory and drug causes. This posed a diagnostic problem for us because of the non-specific symptoms associated with the lack of standardized histological criteria and the lack of clear, codified consensus regarding treatment.
