چکیده
Gastritis represents an inflammation of the stomach lining in response to injury. It is either acute or chronic, and has many underlying causes which can be diagnosed and classified histologically where endoscopic appearances such as redness are often misleading. Gastritis is seldom if ever symptomatic, but usually have important clinical sequelae, principally duodenal and gastric ulceration, gastric adenocarcinoma and primary gastric lymphoma (El-Zimaity, 2007; Thirumurthi & Lanza 2010). The three most important causes of gastritis are categorized as Helicobacter pylori infection, prolonged use of aspirin, non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and autoimmunity (Dohil & Hassall, 2011).
