Campylobacter gastritis simulating Menetrier's disease by upper gastrointestinal radiography

摘要

Within this decade it has been determined that primary gastritis in both children and adults is frequently associated with infection of the gastric mucosa withCampylobacter pylori. It is characterized by a chronic inflammatory process in which the mucosa of the gastric antrum is typically most severely involved. Other regions of the stomach may be involved and associated peptic ulcers of the stomach and duodenal bulb are frequent. A case ofC. pylorigastritis is reported in which involvement of the gastric fundus and body produced severe rugal hypertrophy that resembled Menetrier's disease.
