Allergic Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis With Protein‐losing Enteropathy

Abstract

Patients with AEG + PLE responded well to therapy with amino acid-based formula. Food hypersensitivities did not completely resolve over up to 5.5 years. Intestinal mast cells were significantly increased in maximally infiltrated areas of the intestine, possibly causing increased intestinal permeability and protein loss.
