Objective: To find the correlation between eosinophilic gastroenteritis and peripheral blood eosinophilia. Materials and Methods: 85 cases are selected.The diagnostic criteria for eosinophilic gastroenteritis is presence of more than 30 eosinophils per high power field. The absolute eosinophil count of all the cases is noted. Results: Among 85 cases, 59 are males and 26 are females. The mean age of male and female patients included in this study is 51.31 years and 52.46 years respectively. The most common site involved is colon. Kappa (weighted) statistics shows 36% agreement. Discussion: Our study shows only 36% patients have raised absolute eosinophil count. Conclusion: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is common in 5th decade, more common in male patients.
