ABSTRACT
A 54-year-old woman whose allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) was in remission developed epigastric pain and was revealed to have a giant ulcerative lesion in the stomach. The gastric ulcer recurred despite Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy and discontinuation of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The biopsy tissue of the gastric mucosa showed a high degree of eosinophil infiltration, and she was diagnosed with eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Later, she had a recurrence of ABPM and needed administration of steroids. In the medical treatment of allergic respiratory disease, attention should be paid to complications caused by allergic diseases in other organs. If abdominal symptoms are observed, the possibility of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases should be considered.
