Esta entidad tiene síntomas inespecíficos y en la actualidad no hay estudios clínicos, por lo cual la evidencia científica se basa en series de casos o reportes aislados. Esta patología requiere de un enfoque diagnóstico adecuado para descartar otras causas de eosinofilia en el colon, para poder así ofrecer un manejo farmacológico y no farmacológico dirigido y especializado para lograr la remisión de la enfermedad, por lo cual para ofrecer una atención oportuna, se debe tener en cuenta dentro del diagnóstico diferencial de aquellos pacientes jóvenes con diarrea crónica para lograr mejorar el enfoque diagnóstico y promover la realización de estudios clínicos que mejoren la calidad de la evidencia científica actual. Presentamos el primer caso con compromiso exclusivo del colon reportado en Colombia de una mujer con antecedente de enfermedades atópicas. (Acta Med Colom 2019; 44: 47-50)]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Eosinophilic colitis is a rare and idiopathic disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the colon and is part of the spectrum of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. This entity has nonspecific symptoms and currently there are no clinical studies, so the scientific evidence is based on case series or isolated reports. This pathology requires an adequate diagnostic approach to rule out other causes of eosinophilia in the colon, in order to offer a directed and specialized pharmacological and non-pharmacological management to achieve remission of the disease, so that to offer timely care it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of those young patients with chronic diarrhea in order to improve the diagnostic approach and promote performance of clinical studies that improve the quality of current scientific evidence. This is the first case with exclusive involvement of the colon reported in Colombia of a woman with a history of atopic diseases. (Acta Med Colom 2019; 44: 47-50)]]></p></abstract>
