Abstract
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a condition of unknown aetiology that has been frequently reported involving the stomach and bowel. The colo n is rarely cited as a site for the condition. We report a patient suf fering from allergic symptoms (asthma, atopic dermatitis, elevated ser um IgE levels) who presented with colonic perforation due to eosinophi lic colitis with necrotizing granulomas.
