Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE), also known as eosinophilic enteritis (EoN), are both parts of the eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID) and share pathogenic similarities. Over the past two decades, the incidence and prevalence of EoE have rapidly increased, especially in Western countries, while EGE remains rare. Unlike EoE, no standard treatment strategies or guidelines have been established due to the extreme rarity of EGE, especially in Western countries. Here, we report a rare case of EoN in a 35-year-old female resulting from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
嗜酸性食管炎（EoE）和嗜酸性胃肠炎（EGE），也称为嗜酸性肠炎（EoN），均属于嗜酸性胃肠道疾病（EGID），且在发病机制上具有相似性。在过去二十年中，EoE的发病率和患病率迅速上升，尤其是在西方国家，而EGE仍然较为罕见。与EoE不同，由于EGE极为罕见，尤其是在西方国家，尚未建立标准的治疗策略或指南。在此，我们报告一例35岁女性因严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染导致的罕见嗜酸性肠炎病例。
