Abstract: Eosinophilic gastritis (EoG) is an uncommon digestive disorder with an unclear cause. The prevalence of EoG has been on the rise in recent years. Clinically, EoG have no specific manifestations with most patients presenting with diverse features and endoscopic findings. There are no standardized diagnostic criteria for EoG as yet. Thus, vigilance among clinicians and pathologists is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of EoG. While the use of biologics for EoG has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, there are few studies on this topic. Conventional treatments for EoG include food elimination diet, acid suppressants and glucocorticoids. Currently, research on standard therapeutic interventions is limited, which warrants further research to understand various aspects of EoG.
