Abstract EN
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare condition characterized by eosinophilic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract resulting in a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms.
There is currently a dearth of information on this topic in the pediatric literature, as very few cases have been reported.
In this report, we present a case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in a 10-week-old patient with initial presenting symptom of hematemesis.
To our knowledge, this is the youngest case reported in the literature and is unique in its initial presentation.
