Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Vomiting, and Weight Stagnation in a Well-Appearing Neonate with Neonatal Transient Eosinophilic Gastroenterocolitis


Abstract
This study presents a novel case of neonatal transient eosinophilic gastroenterocolitis, a proposed new entity causing upper and lower digestive symptoms and extensive gastrointestinal eosinophilic infiltration in newborns without a proven active food allergy. The condition's proposed pathophysiology and relationship to similar conditions, alongside clinical and therapeutic approaches, are also discussed.
