The objective of this investigation was to study the gastrointestinal and hepatic involvement in hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Gastrointestinal or hepatic involvement is estimated to affect up to one-third of patients with HES, although most of the clinical evidence has been derived from case reports. In literature, HES presenting with hepatitis and jaundice with subsequent development of colitis is a rare clinicopathologic entity. Given the clinical implications, physicians should include HES among differentials in these types of presentations.
本研究的目的是探讨高嗜酸性粒细胞综合征（HES）患者的胃肠道和肝脏受累情况。据估计，高达三分之一的HES患者会出现胃肠道或肝脏受累，尽管大多数临床证据来自病例报告。在文献中，HES伴有肝炎和黄疸并随后发展为结肠炎是一种罕见的临床病理实体。鉴于其临床意义，医生在这些类型的临床表现的鉴别诊断中应将HES纳入考虑范围。
