Reported 8 months ago

A 30-year-old woman with abdominal bloating, pain, vomiting, and diarrhea was diagnosed with a rare condition known as eosinophilic gastroenteritis after her white blood cell count was found to be extremely high. Dr. Li Chengqi, a specialist at the Chengching Hospital, revealed that the patient's allergic disposition likely led to inflammatory reactions in the gastrointestinal tract triggered by dust mites. Following steroid treatment, her symptoms improved, highlighting the importance of completing the prescribed medication course to prevent recurrence and avoiding allergen exposure to dust mites.
