AB  - Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disorder of unknown cause characterized by 
      focal or diffuse eosinophilic infiltration of gastrointestinal tract, especially 
      the stomach and duodenum. Its clinical presentation depends on which segment of 
      gastrointestinal tract is affected and on the depth of eosinophilic infiltration 
      in the affected segment. We present a case of a 35-year-old male with abdominal 
      distention for six months. Laboratory testing revealed elevated eosinophil count 
      and serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. In abdominal tomography, ascites was 
      observed, and eosinophilic infiltration was detected in duodenum biopsy samples, 
      collected during endoscopic examination of upper gastrointestinal system. 
      Clinical and pathologic findings of the patient responded to steroid 
      dramatically. Even though their comorbidity is rare, eosinophilic gastroenteritis 
      should be considered in differential diagnosis of patients with unspecified 
      ascites.
