| pubmed-article:18396790 | pubmed:abstractText | In 1985, two independent reports highlighted a novel subtype of chronic inflammation in the gastric mucosa, characterized by the intraepithelial lymphocytic infiltration (ILI) both in the surface and the foveolar epithelium. The disease, subsequently called lymphocytic gastritis (LG) is a rare form of gastritis (0.8%-1.6% of cases), with unclear pathogenesis. More recently, LG was recorded in pigs and in non-human primates. | lld:pubmed |
