          Abstract

          Introducción: La Gastroenteritis eosinofilica, se refiere a la eosinofilia en cualquiera de las capas de la pared del tracto gastrointestinal, es una patología rara, con incidencia no reportada y de patogenia desconocida, asociada a antecedentes de atopias y alergias alimentarias. Se requiere para su diagnóstico la evidencia histológica de eosinofilia, la ausencia de ésta en órganos extraintestinales y sin presencia de infección parasitaria. Caso clínico: Se reporta el caso de una paciente femenina de 39 años de edad, con clínica de 4 meses que inició posterior a intoxicación alimentaria y caracterizada por dolor abdominal difuso con predominio de epigástrico, opresivo, de fuerte intensidad, que mejoraba con uso de antiespasmódicos y se intensificaba con la ingestión de alimentos, acompañado de náuseas y vómitos. Se planteó el diagnóstico por imágenes de litiasis vesicular, siendo sometida a colecistectomía laparoscópica. Por persistencia de la sintomatología se realizó endoscopia digestiva superior con hallazgos sugestivos de: gastroduodenitis parasitaria y la biopsia reportó: gastroduodenitis crónica severa eosinofilica. Se indicó tratamiento a base de prednisona, obteniendo resolución completa del cuadro clínico.
