Presentation
Mild cases are simply a redness of the lining of the stomach and duodenum, while severe cases may present as erosions with bleeding and ulceration. [nobelmedicalgroup.com]
The epithelial cells may present various stages of degeneration. The serosa is usually only slightly [jamanetwork.com]
More pronounced neutrophilic inflammation, including cryptitis and crypt abscesses, can also be present. [archivesofpathology.org]
In control specimens, neutrophil polymorphs were very infrequent but a substantial neutrophil polymorph infiltration of the epithelium and lamina propria was present in both types of duodenitis. [jcp.bmj.com]
Treatment at present is similar to that of peptic ulcer, with the withdrawal of any predisposing and precipitating factors such as aspirin, alcohol and smoking. Antacids may relieve the symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
