摘　　要：BACKGROUND Eosinophilia and related organ damage are extensively studied hot topics among rare disorders.Any addition to the cohort of available case reports of the same will be adding knowledge for better management of this less known entity.CASE SUMMARY In this article,we describe a 27-year-old Indo-Aryan man who presented with abdominal pain,abdominal distension,and loose stools for variable days.He had splinter hemorrhages in the majority of fingernails.He was diagnosed with predominant eosinophilic gastrointestinal involvement with bowel obstruction and ascites,and was managed with intravenous immunoglobulin.He was subsequently treated with oral low dose steroid therapy and responded completely.CONCLUSION Our experience is evidence that prompt management of this hypereosinophilic lethal gastrointestinal(all three layers)infiltrative disease provides a cure and avoids complications.Splinter nail hemorrhages may be seen in the same disease.
