AB  - Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs), including eosinophilic 
      gastroenteritis and eosinophilic colitis, have been increasing in prevalence in 
      Western countries in recent years. Eosinophils are normally scanty in the 
      gastrointestinal tract, and increased numbers of eosinophils can denote 
      pathology. Normal values for tissue eosinophils vary widely between different 
      segments of the colon, thus location of the biopsy is critically important for 
      the interpretation of findings. However, no standard diagnostic criteria have 
      been proposed for the diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis or eosinophilic 
      colitis. Gut eosinophilia encompasses entitites that are predominantly 
      immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated, the primary EGIDs and those that are secondary 
      and not IgE-mediated. A final diagnosis of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases 
      requires careful pathological assessment, clinical correlation and exclusion of 
      several differential diagnoses.
