| Abstract |
|
Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare disease of acute suppurative inflammation in the stomach wall. It is rapidly progressive and potentially fatal. Its mortality rate remains very high because the clinical diagnosis is often delayed. Many patients with phlegmonous gastritis undergo surgery. We present the case of 63-year-old woman with epigastric pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. The presumed diagnosis of acute phlegmonous gastritis was made by esophagogastroduodenoscopy, abdominal computed tomography, endoscopic ultrasonography and deep submucosal biopsy assisted with hook knife. Acinetobacter baumannii was cultured in the aspiration from the stomach. We treated the patient with antibiotics alone. Early recognition of phlegmonous gastritis by endoscopic biopsies and bacteriological study may improve the prognosis of these patient. |
