TI  - Eosinophilic gastroenteritis and gluten-sensitive enteropathy in the same 
      patient.
PG  - 552-3
AB  - We report the clinical and laboratory features of a 19-year-old man with findings 
      of both eosinophilic gastroenteritis and gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Before the 
      onset of clinical symptoms, the patient had received a series of hepatitis B 
      vaccinations but had not developed a measurable antibody response or any allergic 
      reaction. Radioallergosorbent test results were positive to several foods, and 
      the total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) level was elevated. Adherence to a 
      gluten-free diet caused a normalization in the endomysial antibody titer; 
      however, the total serum IgE level continued to increase, and the total 
      eosinophil count remained elevated. Symptoms of recurrent vomiting and abdominal 
      pain necessitated prednisone burst therapy. The simultaneous occurrence of 
      eosinophilic gastroenteritis and gluten-sensitive enteropathy is rare; therapy 
      should be directed to each disorder individually.
