Russell Body Gastritis Treated WithHelicobacter pyloriEradication Therapy: Magnifying Endoscopic Findings With Narrow Band Imaging Before and After Treatment.
Russell body gastritis is considered a benign inflammatory disease. This is the first report that documented the disease's natural history over a 15-month period and the response to eradication ofHelicobacter pylori, with follow-up for another 15 months. In addition, Russell body gastritis was observed with magnifying endoscopy and narrow-band imaging. In the period of 30 months, we were able to record progression of the disease in the untreated state and its complete regression after clearance ofH. pylori.
