[Ultrastructural findings in the gastric mucosa in children and adolescents with chronic Helicobacter pylori-positive gastritis].
Gastric mucosa ultrastructure was studied in 32 children and adolescents with chronic superficial active and inactive gastritis. Helicobacter pylori was found most frequently free in mucous layer without direct contact with the mucosa. But in 7 children (21.9%), it occurred quite close to superficial epithelial cells and influenced their outlook. In two cases, it was registered in intracytoplasmic channels of intact parietal cells. Another two children with massive helicobacterial infection showed superficial epithelial cells with big mucus vacuoles and sequestration of apical cytoplasm.
