Abstract:
A 45-year-old man with steroid-dependent ulcerative pancolitis was hospitalized with frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain and distension 3 months after induction of golimumab, a tumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonist. Computed tomography showed wall thickening from the stomach to the colon and massive ascites. Peripheral blood test revealed eosinophilia. A large number of eosinophils were observed in the ascites fluid. Although esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed no abnormal findings and colonoscopy showed ulcerative colitis with a Mayo endoscopic subscore of 1, eosinophil infiltration was histologically observed. Based on these findings, we diagnosed him with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and started prednisolone. Consequently, his eosinophil counts and abdominal symptoms dramatically improved.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
