Abstract: Two cases of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) are reported. One recovered spontaneously, the other relapsed after bowel resection. Comments outline the immunological processes. They relate EGE to the hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and other collagenous diseases. Bowel resection is discouraged in favor of more conservative treatment.
