[Possible combination of eosinophilic infiltration of the stomach, small and large intestines with psoriasis].

The combination of the eosinophilic infiltration of the stomach, small and large intestine with psoriasis is described. Diarrhea and syndrome of the disturbed absorption in eosinophilic gastroenteritis coincided with exacerbation of the skin disease. Clinical regression of both conditions with disappearance of peripheral eosinophilia occurred simultaneously. Participation of T-cell immunity and IgE is suggested as a pathogenetic mechanism of eosinophilic gastroenteritis and psoriasis.
