primary gastric fundus tuberculosis in immunocompetent patient a case report and literature review
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008Co-Authors: Fahmi Yousef Khan, Ahmed Alani, Ammar C Alrikabi, A Mizrakhshi, Mohamed Elmudathir OsmanAbstract:We report on a 29-year-old Pakistani man who presented to the clinic with epigastric pain, of one-month duration. He did not report fever, cough, Vomiting Blood, passing black stools, loss of appetite or diarrhea. However, he had lost 7 kg since his symptoms had begun. Clinical examination was unremarkable. Laboratory results were within normal limits. An abdominal CT scan showed a mass with enhancement in the stomach. Gastric endoscopy revealed an ulcerative mass in the fundus. An endoscopic-biopsy specimen revealed caseating granulomas with acid-fast bacilli. The patient was diagnosed to have primary gastric tuberculosis, and antituberculous medications were initiated. Cultures of the gastric mass subsequently grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive to isoniazid and rifampcin. Follow-up after six months showed a good response to treatment; an upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy after six months was normal.

A Fatal Case of Coin Battery Ingestion in an 18-Month-Old Child: Case Report and Literature Review
'Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health)', 2017Co-Authors: Ventura Francesco, Candosin Sara, Barranco Rosario, Bonsignore Alessandro, Andrello Luisa, Tajana Luca, Osculati AntonioAbstract:The ingestion of extraneous substances is quite common in clinical practice; it usually befalls in the pediatric age, mostly between 6 months and 6 years. In most cases, complications do not emerge, and the prognosis is considered favorable. However, when a case of battery ingestion occurs, serious adverse events may develop. The ingestion of these components is a potential life-threatening event for children. In this article, we report the case of an 18-month-old child who died from hemorrhagic shock due to an aortoesophageal fistula caused by a 20 mm lithium button battery lodged in the esophagus. The child presented Vomiting Blood, and laboratory results revealed a severe anemization, which later led to death. The autopsy showed a coin battery located in the middle third of the esophagus as well as a transmural erosion of the esophageal wall with fistulization into the aortic wall. The histological examination revealed a severe necrosis of the esophageal and aortic walls in line with the junction between the aortic arch and the descending part

Severe lymphocytic-plasmacytic and atrophic gastritis, as well as, predominantly eosinophilic, severe enteritis, in a 19-month-old Labrador retriever.
The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne, 2005Co-Authors: Marjolaine RousseauAbstract:A 19-month-old, male, Labrador retriever was presented with a history of chronic Vomiting. Blood analysis and abdominal ultrasononography could not rule out the possibility of gastrointestinal inflammation. Histologic examination of endoscopic gastrointestinal biopsies confirmed severe lymphocytic-plasmacytic and atrophic gastritis, as well as, predominantly eosinophilic, severe enteritis.
