Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare, suppurative bacterial infection of the gastric wall and one of the rarest complications after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The pathogenesis is not fully clear, but multiple risk factors have been described in literature as mucosal injury and achlorhydria. We report a case of a 76-year-old male with vomiting and epigastric pain, two days after an upper endoscopy, who presented in septic shock.

We aimed to characterize the clinicopathologic features of SV in the GI tract. Seventeen specimens (3 gastrectomy and 14 biopsy specimens) with histologic diagnosis of SV were identified and analyzed.

Bacterial gastritis often improves with appropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics, emphasizing the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment based on the clinical and endoscopic findings. Among viral gastritis, cytomegalovirus gastritis, primarily occurring in immunocompromised patients, necessitates antiviral intervention, while immunocompetent individuals typically achieve amelioration by administering proton pump inhibitors.

Acute phlegmonous gastritis (APG), a rare clinical condition, is mainly characterized by bacterial invasion in the gastric lining and is associated with a high mortality rate. The symptoms of APG include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and infection. Notably, the lack of specificity in the clinical presentation presents challenges in the early diagnosis of the disease.
