Abstract:
A 20-year-old male presented with low-grade fever, abdominal pain, anorexia, and weight loss of 4-month duration. On examination, he was emaciated. Barium meal follow-through examination showed extensive nodularity and thickening of duodenal and jejunal folds. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen revealed extensive proximal small-bowel thickening with mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and enteroscopy revealed thickening of folds with multiple small superficial ulceration involving antrum, duodenum, and jejunum. The duodenal and jejunal biopsy was suggestive of immunoproliferative small intestinal disease, stage 0 (Salem) or stage A (Galian). Antral biopsy showed presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. He underwent H. pylori eradication following which he had significant clinical improvement; repeat evaluation at 6 months showed dramatic improvement in his clinical, radiological, and histological parameters.

Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.
Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
