Introduction: Eosinophilic colitis (EC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) colitis are two entities that may share similar clinical, endoscopic and therapeutic characteristics but different diagnostic criteria.
Objectives: To describe the clinical case of a preschool child with a history of food allergy, hospitalizations and use of antibiotics on several occasions, which evolves with intermittent chronic diarrhea,
Materials and Methods: Review of clinical record, description of clinical picture, analysis of study results.
Results: with clinical findings of inflammatory bowel disease and histopathological description of eosinophilic colitis, the association between these two pathologies is considered without leaving the possibility that the latter is an initial phase of IBD.
Conclusions: the treatment of patients with complicated eosinophilic colitis is similar to inflammatory bowel disease, clinical, endoscopic and histopathological follow-up of patients with long-term eosinophilic colitis is required.
