Abstract

Background

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) associated with eosinophilic gastroenteritis is rare. We report a case of duodenal “stone” inducing acute pancreatitis with eosinophilic gastroduodenitis in an AIDS patient.

Case Summary

A 73-year-old female AIDS patient came to the hospital with recurrent abdominal pain for 20 days. Computed tomography (CT) showed pancreatitis with exudation and a high-density shadow under the gastric antrum. Gastroscopy showed that the descending part of the duodenum was blocked by a “stone”. The mucosa of the duodenum was rough, and a red polyp was found on the gastric body. The pathology result was chronic inflammation with eosinophilic granulocytes in the duodenal mucosa and gastric body polyp.

Conclusion

When AIDS patients suffer acute pancreatitis, the possibility of eosinophilic gastroenteritis needs to be considered to enable the patient to accept timely treatment.
