Article information

La gastroenteritis eosinofílica es una rara enfermedad crónica, de causa desconocida, caracterizada por la infiltración del tracto gastrointestinal por leucocitos eosinófilos, que habitualmente se acompaña de eosinofilia en sangre periférica. Esta compleja enfermedad desarrolla síntomas variables, con frecuencia dolor abdominal, náuseas, diarrea, enteropatía con pérdida proteínica y malabsorción.

En general, los pacientes pueden ser tratados satisfactoriamente con corticoides, pero son posibles las recidivas.

Se presenta el primer caso de un paciente de 6 años afectado de osteodistrofia hereditaria de Albright (seudohipo-paratiroidismo Ia) asociado a gastroenteritis eosinofílica, y se discuten las alternativas al tratamiento tradicional con corticoides.

Palabras clave:
Gastroenteritis eosinofílica
Seudohipoparatiroidismo

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon chronic disease, of unknown cause, characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract, which is usually associated with peripheral blood eosinophilia. The symptoms of this complex disorder are variable, and frequently include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, protein losing enteropathy and malabsorption.

In general, patients can be successfully treated with corticosteroids, but relapses are common.

We present the first case of a 6-year-old boy with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (Pseudohypoparathyroidism Ia) associated with eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Alternatives to traditional treatment with corticosteroids are discussed.

Key words:
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis
Pseudohypoparathyroidism
