    Eosinophilic gastroenteritis, a rare condition, can affect infants, presenting with rectal bleeding. This case highlights eosinophilic infiltration of the appendix in a neonate, resolving with a milk-free diet.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pediatric Pathology

    Background:

    • Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare gastrointestinal disorder characterized by eosinophilic infiltration.
    • It typically affects adults but can occur in infants, presenting with diverse symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A 15-day-old infant presented with rectal bleeding, initially suspected to be Meckel's diverticulum.
    • Laparotomy revealed no Meckel's diverticulum, but the appendix showed mild distension and inflammation.

    Findings:

    • Microscopic examination of the appendix confirmed diffuse eosinophilic infiltration.
    • The infant had elevated blood eosinophil counts and experienced rectal bleeding episodes after milk ingestion.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates eosinophilic gastroenteritis in a neonate, specifically involving the appendix.
