          Abstract

          Resumen La colitis eosinofílica es un trastorno gastrointestinal primario de etiología desconocida y ligada a procesos alérgicos. Se define por la presencia de un número anormal de eosinófilos en la mucosa colónica junto con síntomas de disfunción intestinal. Su incidencia ha aumentado en los últimos años debido a un mayor reconocimiento. El diagnóstico es endoscópico y requiere la exclusión de otras causas de eosinofilia colónica, como la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal entre otras. Los criterios diagnósticos no están bien establecidos ya que no se conoce con certeza el número normal de eosinófilos en los distintos tramos del tubo digestivo. El tratamiento, de la misma manera, se basa en la opinión de expertos. Se presentan dos casos de colitis eosinofílica en la edad infantil con el objetivo de mejorar el conocimiento de esta enfermedad y poner de manifiesto la necesidad de realizar estudios que permitan homogeneizar el manejo de esta patología.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Eosinophilic colitis is a primary gastrointestinal disease of unknown etiology and related to allergic processes. It is defined by the presence of an abnormal number of eosinophils in the colonic mucosa together with symptoms of intestinal dysfunction. Its incidence has increased in the last years due to a growing recognition. Diagnosis is endoscopic and requires the exclusion of other colonic eosinophilia causes, such as the inflammatory bowel disease, among others. Diagnosis criteria are not well stablished since there is no certainty about the normal number of eosinophilic cells in the different sections of the gastrointestinal tract. Likewise, treatment is based on expert opinion. Two cases of eosinophilic colitis in childhood are presented with the aim of improving the disease awareness as well as highlighting the need to carry out investigations that allow the homogenization of the management of this pathology.

          Prevalence of Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis and Colitis in a Population-Based Study, From 2012 to 2017

          Although eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has been extensively studied, there have been few epidemiology studies of other eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). Using a large, population-based database, we investigated epidemiologic features of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EoGE) and eosinophilic colitis (EoC) in the United State.
