Here, the case of a patient in her early 30s, who presented with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain and diarrhea, is reported. Initial standard laboratory investigations revealed normal complete blood counts and elevated total serum immunoglobulin E levels. Upper and lower endoscopic evaluations with systemic biopsies did not reveal any significant abnormalities. However, computed tomography revealed a thickened small intestine wall, halo signs, and mild ascites. Analysis of the ascitic fluid confirmed eosinophilia. These findings prompted a diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. The patient responded well to a targeted elimination diet, corticosteroids, and antileukotriene medication. The present case emphasizes the importance of considering eosinophilic gastroenteritis in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with abdominal pain and eosinophilic ascites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/03000605241277401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]],"date-time":"2024-09-06T03:03:04Z","timestamp":1725591784000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Eosinophilic ascites and enteritis: a neglected case report from Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"52","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8233-8202","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tien Manh","family":"Huynh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nhu Thi Hanh","family":"Vu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tran Thi Luong","family":"Vo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duy Le","family":"Pham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Falculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phat Tan","family":"Ho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Cho Ray Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duc Trong","family":"Quach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/CEG.S173130"},{"key":"bibr2-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4292\/wjgpt.v7.i4.513"},{"key":"bibr3-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.31276\/VJSTE.64(2).59-64"},{"key":"bibr4-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7453\/gahmj.2013.008"},{"key":"bibr5-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.31.1.54"},{"key":"bibr6-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-197007000-00003"},{"key":"bibr7-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CM9.0000000000002511"},{"key":"bibr8-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12016-019-08732-1"},{"key":"bibr9-03000605241277401","first-page":"110","volume":"57","author":"Pinte L","year":"2019","journal-title":"Rom J Intern Med"},{"key":"bibr10-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajg.2021.02.002"},{"key":"bibr11-03000605241277401","first-page":"354","volume":"35","author":"Liao WH","year":"2012","journal-title":"Chang Gung Med J"},{"key":"bibr12-03000605241277401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12659\/AJCR.913319"}],"container-title":["Journal of International Medical Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/03000605241277401","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/03000605241277401","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/03000605241277401","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T10:50:42Z","timestamp":1777459842000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/03000605241277401"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/03000605241277401"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/03000605241277401","relation":{},"ISSN":["0300-0605","1473-2300"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0300-0605","type":"print"},{"value":"1473-2300","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]},"article-number":"03000605241277401"}}
