Abstract

Eosinophilic enteritis is a rare disorder, affecting human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The exact etiology is unknown, and some drugs are implicated in causing this condition. We report a case of drug induced eosinophilic enteritis, caused by antituberculosis therapy (ATT). The cessation of ATT induced clinical remission and symptoms were reproduced on drug re-challenge, which corroborated our diagnosis.
