chronic active gastritis

 

Definition: Chronic active gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach characterized by the simultaneous presence of a mononuclear cell infiltrate and neutrophilic polymorphonuclear inflammation.

Because this term may convey an entity (like chronic active hepatitis) rather than a phase of a single disease, it is preferable to use the term active as a descriptor, as in the original Sydney System (e.g., chronic gastritis, active).

Etiology

-  Helicobacter infection (Helicobacter gastritis)
-  Crohn gastritis (Crohn disease)

Types

-  focal active gastritis

See also

-  gastric active inflammation (active gastritis)
