A study of the aetiology of gastritis following gastric surgery. I. Immunofluorescent studies of the gastric mucosa.
The gastritis which follows surgical trauma is probably not of autoimmune origin. Although identical with the gastritis of pernicious anaemia (PA) upon routine histological examination, immunofluorescent examination of post-operative gastritis differs in that IgA-containing plasma cells alone are found, in contrast to the predominantly IgG-containing plasma cells in PA.
