Ulcer without H Pylori?
Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2020 3:35 am
Hello,
can you have an ulcer without any H Pylori having been found in your stomach?
Please below an excerpt from a recent biopsy (which I've translated into English):
1) GASTRIC BIOPSY
We have 3 fundic gastric mucosa fragments of normal height,
comprising well-preserved glandular structures. The chorion
is the seat of a slight increase in lymphocytes and
plasmocytes.
A non-specific cryptitis site can be noted, characterized
by neutrophile polynuclears which are aggressive towards
rare epithelial structures.
Helicobacter pylori (Dako Rabbit polyclonal), pre-diluted, pH,
FLEX revealing/disclosure (?)
Inexistant bacterial items.
2. ULCERATION BIOPSY
We have 1 fundic gastric mucosa fragments of normal height,
comprising well-preserved glandular structures. The
chorion is the seat of a slight increase in lymphocytes and
plasmocytes.
1 seat of intestinal metaplasia of small-intestin type can
be observed. The glands appear densified, their coating
is pseudo-stratified. The surface coating is pseudo-papilliar.
The cytonuclear atypias as discrete.
Immuno-histo-chemical analys:
P53 (DO-7 Dako clone), pre-diluted, pH6, FLEX revelation: savage
(?) marking.
Ki67 (DO-7 Dako clone), pre-diluted, pH6, FLEX revelation:
marks the crypts' nuclei, underlining the pseudo-stratification
and a sligh anysocaryosis, marks several nuclei on the surface.
These aspects suggest low-grade dysplasia.
CONCLUSION
Non-specific gastritis.
Gastric ulceration: site of intestinal metaplasia with
low-grade dysplasia.
Can H Pylori "camouflage" somehow in the stomach?
Can other bacteria/viruses survive in the stomach and cause ulcer-like symptoms?
Many thanks.
