Abstract

A reddish depressed lesion was found in the corpus of the stomach of a 56-year-old man. Gastric biopsy showed no findings of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, including lympho-epithelial lesions. A urea breath test, stool antigen test and serum IgG antibody to Helicobacter pylori test were negative. Magnifying endoscopy using narrow-band-imaging showed no malignant structures. Gastric biopsy specimens were subjected to immunohistochemistry and a polymerase chain reaction, which identified Helicobacter suis infection. Triple therapy with esomeprazole, metronidazole, and amoxicillin was administered for 10 days. Three months later, endoscopy showed the significant improvement of the lesion. H. suis infection should be considered in chronic gastritis patients without H. pylori infection.
