Ascites appear as a clinical manifestation of various disorders, and the presence of raised levels of eosinophils in the peritoneal fluid characterizes eosinophilic ascites, which is an extremely rare disorder. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is one of the uncommon causes of ascites. If not investigated thoroughly, ascites recurrence in a young female with a history of tuberculosis may be wrongly attributed to tuberculosis recurrence in an endemic country. The etiology of ascites in our case was correctly identified as the subserosal form of eosinophilic ascites. Oral corticosteroids form the mainstay of treatment in such cases. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disease, but a thorough workup and a strong clinical suspicion may help in the successful diagnosis and treatment of such cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
