Article Synopsis
- Collagenous gastritis (CG) and Lymphocytic gastritis (LG) are uncommon forms of gastritis characterized by specific cellular changes, and this study aimed to analyze their prevalence and features in children over a 23-year period.
- In a review of 31 pediatric cases, CG was found in 11 patients (35.5%), while LG was identified in 20 patients (64.5%), most of whom presented with gastrointestinal symptoms and iron deficiency anemia.
- Treatment typically involved iron supplements, proton pump inhibitors, and dietary changes, with most patients showing improvement in hemoglobin levels, although some required ongoing treatment and a follow-up endoscopy showed no significant histopathological changes
