Eosinophils Increased
Hypereosinophilic syndrome is an uncommon disorder in which the number of eosinophils increases to more than 1,500 cells per microliter of blood (more than 1.5 109 per liter) for more than 6 months without an obvious cause. [msdmanuals.com]
When triggered by allergies, infection, or cancer, eosinophils increase in number and become active. In the short-term, this response is important and effective in ridding the body of intruders. [badgut.org]
Eosinophils increase in response to parasitic infections and allergic reactions. Eosinophilia —An abnormal increase in the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. [healthofchildren.com]
Treatment
Our case demonstrates that patients with uncharacteristic abdominal pain who are unresponsive to conventional treatment, rare illnesses like eosinophilic gastritis should be considered. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
One of the main treatments is to eliminate the foods that are causing the reaction. Diagnosis, treatment and understanding of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), the most common EGID, has improved greatly in the last decade. [blog.cincinnatichildrens.org]

Etiology
The disease is highly responsive to dietary restriction therapies in children, implicating an allergic etiology. Associated EoE is more resistant to therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, etiological emphasis is given to an allergic reaction. Other etiologies suggested are chronic inflammation and foreign body reaction. [ijpmonline.org]

Prevention
Prevention There are no current steps to prevent EG because the cause is not clear. References Eosinophilic gastritis. National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) website. Available at: . Updated: 2018. Accessed January 11, 2019. [lahey.org]
MAINTENANCE AND RELAPSE PREVENTION Although the cessation attempt is relatively straightforward when patients are motivated to quit, data suggest that maintenance strategies and relapse prevention techniques must be considered from the start. [consultant360.com]
