The radiologic and endoscopic investigation and etiologic classification of gastritis in children.
In 11 children the endoscopic criteria for gastritis were correlated with radiologic and pathological findings. An etiologic classification is proposed. The diagnoses included gastric involvement by Crohn's disease (five children), eosinophilic gastroenteritis (one), diffuse varioliform gastritis (two), erosive gastritis associated with Campylobacter pylori infection (two) and idiopathic erosive gastritis (one). Eight of the nine double-contrast barium studies and only one of the three single-contrast examinations correlated with the endoscopic and histologic findings. In 10 children the endoscopic results correlated well with the biopsy findings.
