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.
嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠炎是一种罕见疾病，其特征为胃肠道嗜酸性粒细胞炎症，可导致多种胃肠道症状。目前儿科文献中关于这一主题的信息匮乏，因为报道的病例极少。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例10周大的嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠炎患者，其最初的症状为呕血。据我们所知，这是文献中报道的最年幼病例，且其初始表现独特。
