Abstrakt: | Background: Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) associated with eosinophilic gastroenteritis is rare. We report a case of duodenal "stone" inducing acute pancreatitis with eosinophilic gastroduodenitis in an AIDS patient. Case Summary: A 73-year-old female AIDS patient came to the hospital with recurrent abdominal pain for 20 days. Computed tomography (CT) showed pancreatitis with exudation and a high-density shadow under the gastric antrum. Gastroscopy showed that the descending part of the duodenum was blocked by a "stone". The mucosa of the duodenum was rough, and a red polyp was found on the gastric body. The pathology result was chronic inflammation with eosinophilic granulocytes in the duodenal mucosa and gastric body polyp. Conclusion: When AIDS patients suffer acute pancreatitis, the possibility of eosinophilic gastroenteritis needs to be considered to enable the patient to accept timely treatment.
