Abstract
Type, grade and extension of immunocompetent infiltrates(ii) in gastric mucosa were analyzed in 76 pediatric autopsies. Seven similary located specimens were obtained for each case. Results are shown in the Table.
CG; chronic “gastritis”. I 1-29 days-old. II 1-3- months-old. III 1-6 years-old. IV 7-14 years old.
ii increased with age. Main cellular component was composed by plasmocytes and related cells, including lymph follicles with germinative center. Its presence probably indicates a response to chronic local antigen stimulation. Since histologic images conform a gamut it is not clear when ii should be called chronic gastritic as a lesion.
