hydatid disease
Definition: Echinococcosis, which is often referred to as hydatid disease or echinococcal disease, is a parasitic disease that affects both humans and other mammals, such as sheep, dogs, rodents and horses.

The stomach is not a preferred site for human parasitic infections. Cryptosporidium spp. has been found lining the gastric mucosa, which was virtually free of inflammation.
Several cases of giardiasis have been reported, virtually all in stomachs with extensive atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.
Because most patients also have H. pylori infection, it remains unclear whether Giardia intestinalis causes (...) -

Definition: Fungal infections are called mycoses. Fungi are eukaryotes that grow predominantly by budding (yeasts) or by filamentous extensions called hyphae (molds).
The distinction between yeasts and molds is not absolute and is based on the usual morphology of the organism. Some fungi, such as Candida albicans, tend to grow predominantly as yeast but may also form hyphae.
Dimorphic fungi have both a yeast form (at human body (...) -

viral gastritis
10 November 2005Although many common enteroviruses are believed to infect the gastric mucosa, so few patients with acute gastroenteritis undergo gastric biopsy that no information is available on the morphologic features of these infections.
CMV gastritis
The only viral infections of the stomach with a distinct pathologic appearance are those caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV); CMV-associated gastritis is seen almost exclusively in children and immunocompromised patients.
Usually it is associated with (...) -
