    Journal of tropical pediatrics, 2011, Volume: 57, Issue:2

    Previously described treatments used for eosinophilic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract have included dietary restrictions primarily of cow milk protein, anti-inflammatory therapy utilizing suplatast, budesonide and corticosteroids, cromolyn sodium, anti-histamines and oral inhalable steroids. We describe a 12-year-old girl with diarrhea and malabsorption, who was later diagnosed to have eosinophilic gastroenteritis, was unresponsive to standard therapies, but exhibited marked improvement with use of montelukast.
