eosinophilic gastritis, respectively. Recently, Choi et al. published a study assessing the clinical, endoscopic and histologic features and the response to treatment of 13 children with a histological diagnosis of EGE. They found that the most prevalent symptom at onset in the infant group (8 patients) was haematemesis (7 patients, 87.5%), followed by melena (2 patients, 25%). In contrast, recurrent abdominal pain was the predominant symptom in the group of children aged more than 1 year (60%). Furthermore, CMP was the allergen most frequently suspected to be involved based on the clinical manifestations, suspected in 76.9% of patients, and all infants in this study responded favourably to switching from cow’s milk to extensively hydrolysed/elemental formula. These findings are consistent with the outcomes of the two patients managed in our hospital, although it is important to keep in mind that absence of peripheral eosinophilia or negative results of specific IgE assays are not sufficient to exclude a diagnosis of EGE.
