A patient is reported with eosinophilic enteritis of the jejunum with fatal evolution. Surgical resection was considered impossible and medical treatment with corticosteroids, elemental diet, parenteral nutrition, and antimicrobials to combat the intestinal bacterial overgrowth failed to control the disease. The destructive and fatal nature of the reported eosinophilic enteritis raises the problem of classification of such disease entity, refractory to corticosteroid therapy.
报告了一名患有空肠嗜酸性粒细胞性肠炎并最终死亡的患者。手术切除被认为不可能进行，使用皮质类固醇、要素饮食、肠外营养以及抗菌药物来对抗肠道细菌过度生长的药物治疗未能控制该疾病。所报告的嗜酸性粒细胞性肠炎的破坏性和致命性引发了对这种对皮质类固醇治疗无效的疾病实体进行分类的问题。
