phlegmonous gastritis

Histological examination showed what seemed to be a life threatening phlegmonous gastritis.

Bacterial phlegmonous gastritis either responds to antibiotic treatment or results in death of the patient.

A histological diagnosis of phlegmonous gastritis was made.

In this patient Sjögren's syndrome presented with a phlegmonous gastritis that responded promptly to steroid teratment.

We describe a patient with Sjögren's syndrome and an uncommon gastric mucosal lesion shown to be a phlegmonous gastritis.

In conclusion phlegmonous gastritis was found as the presenting symptom in a case of Sjögren's syndrome and reacted well to steroid treatment.

The differential diagnosis of phlegmonous gastritis consts of bacterial infections especially staphylococcus aureus and including tuberculosis.

This phlegmonous gastritis evolved later into a chronic atrophic gastritis, which has frequently been reported as a symptom of Sjögren's syndrome.
