ABSTRACT

Introduction: transmural eosinophilic enteritis represents an infrequent entity in Cuba, being reported only two cases secondary to parasitic infections and one primary, published by Amores et al in 2009.
Case presentation: we present two patients that were taken to the operating room with the diagnosis of perforated peptic ulcer and intestinal obstruction, confirming the presence of eosinophilic enteritis with all of the intestinal wall thickness damaged when analyzing the histological piece.
Discussion: although these diseases are idiopathic, recent research support the paper of eosinophils, T 2 helper cells (Th2), [IL]-3, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 interleukins, and eotaxin as critical factors in this disease pathogenesis.
Conclusions: the eosinophilic enteritis is a nosocomial entity that although classified as rare, leads to frequent surgical complications, and should be kept in mind when treating these patients.
