Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is an uncommon disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract in the absence of secondary causes and presents with a variety of gastrointestinal manifestations. Important diagnostic evidence for EGE can be provided by endoscopy; however, the specific small-bowel capsule endoscopic (SBCE) findings remain unknown. We herein report the SBCE findings of three cases of EGE as well as those of the previous cases. The most common findings in patients with EGE were multiple erythema and erosions with surrounding redness on SBCE; these findings should be considered for the diagnostic evaluation for EGE.
嗜酸粒细胞性胃肠炎（EGE）是一种少见疾病，其特征为胃肠道内有嗜酸性粒细胞浸润，而无其他继发原因，并伴有各种胃肠道表现。内镜检查可为 EGE 提供重要的诊断依据；然而，EGE 的具体小肠胶囊内镜（SBCE）表现尚不清楚。本文报道了 3 例 EGE 患者的 SBCE 表现以及既往病例的 SBCE 表现。EGE 患者最常见的 SBCE 表现为多发红斑和溃疡，周围发红；这些表现应考虑用于 EGE 的诊断评估。
