We describe an ultra-early stage of autoimmune gastritis (AIG) that occurs prior to the well-known early-stage AIG. The key pathology is the shortening of the second layer with degenerated parietal cells. In the management of patients with autoimmune diseases, AIG should be considered even if the endoscopy findings are normal.

Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a chronic condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the stomach lining, specifically targeting parietal cells that produce stomach acid and intrinsic factors. After the infection was eradicated, AIG developed in an elderly woman with symptoms of the disease. 1.

Gastrointestinal T cells (GI-T) play a critical role in mucosal immunity, balancing tolerance and pathogen defence. T cells recognize antigens via T cell receptors (TCRs). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is utilized to analyse TCR repertoires in contexts such as health, haematological diseases, autoimmunity, and inflammation.

Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are characterized by associations of two or more autoimmune diseases (AID). APS type 3 is characterized by the presence of autoimmune thyroid disease associated with other AID, excluding adrenal gland involvement. Here we report a case of a 64-year-old male, with history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), diagnosed at the age of 32, who was referred to a Diabetes consultation in 2014 due to poor metabolic control.

As digestive endoscopy becomes more prevalent, an increasing number of autoimmune gastritis (AIG) cases have been diagnosed, which has contributed to a growing body of research on AIG. We report the case of a patient with AIG who was diagnosed due to receiving endoscopic surgery after discovering a gastric neuroendocrine tumor (GNET) during gastroscopy twice within 3 years. The patient was admitted to our hospital for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) due to GNET recurrence discovered during gastroscopy.

Background: The relationship between autoimmune gastritis (AIG) and gastric polyps (GPs) is not well understood.
Aim: To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of AIG with GPs in patients.
Methods: This double center retrospective study included 530 patients diagnosed with AIG from July 2019 to July 2023.
