Abstract:
Our review of evidence that Campylobacter pylori is an important factor in gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and "nonulcer dyspepsia" suggests that C pylori is the most common cause of chronic active gastritis. The association between C pylori gastritis and duodenal ulcer, which approaches 100%, leads to the suggestion that this infection plays an important role in the pathogenesis of duodenal ulcer. Evidence supporting a central role in the pathogenesis of gastric ulcer and nonulcer dyspepsia is less compelling.

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
