Abstract

Background: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are the rare gastrointestinal disorders. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases with overall gastrointestinal tract involvement causing liver abscess in an older patient.

Case presentation: We report a 68-year-old man with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease with overall gastrointestinal tract involvement. He was admitted with suspected acute gastroenteritis, and histological examination showed eosinophilic infiltration accompanied by liver abscess. The collected pus was tested for Metagenomics Next-Generation Sequencing and confirmed the presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Conclusions: We conducted a literature review on the complications of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases and discussed how eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases lead to liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.

一名老年患者因嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠道疾病引起肝脓肿：病例报告和文献综述。

背景：嗜酸性粒细胞胃肠病是一种罕见的胃肠道疾病。据我们所知，还没有关于嗜酸性粒细胞胃肠病累及整个胃肠道并导致老年患者肝脓肿的报道：我们报告了一名患有嗜酸性粒细胞胃肠病并累及整个胃肠道的 68 岁男性患者。他因疑似急性胃肠炎入院，组织学检查显示嗜酸性粒细胞浸润并伴有肝脓肿。对收集的脓液进行了元基因组学新一代测序，证实了肺炎克雷伯菌的存在：我们对嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠道疾病的并发症进行了文献综述，并讨论了嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠道疾病如何导致肺炎克雷伯菌引起肝脓肿。
