Abstract
Clinical and biological features are discussed on a 50 years old female, who suffered a peritonitis with eosinophilic ascites, together with a bilateral pleural effusion with the same cytologic findings, developing in the course of an hypereosinophilia. The clinical situations in which eosinophilic ascites is associated with blood hypereosinophilia are reviewed. The histopathological findings in this case support the diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis of subserous type.
