[Hemato-tissue eosinophilia in a case of ulcerative rectocolitis]

A case of ulcerous rectocolitis presenting a remarkable haematic and tissue eosinophilia, both rectal and gastric, is described. After therapy, the eosinphil complement decreased in the blood but not in the colic mucosa. It is suggested that eosinphilia is not a particular characteristic of ulcerous colitis, but the expression of an inidvidual reaction to an inflammatory stimulus.
