Toxic Haemorrhagic Colitis : A Rare Presentation of Eosinophilic Colitis

Abstract EN

Eosinophilic colitis is a rare condition that usually presents with non specific abdominal symptoms.

Very uncommonly it presents with an acute surgical emergency such as peritonitis or haemorrhage.

We present a rare presentation of eosinophilic colitis with toxic hemorrhagic colitis and ischaemic bowel requiring laparotomy and bowel resection.
