Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative bacterium that cause severe clinical disease including meningoencephalitis, septicaemia, and abortion in pregnant women, newborn infants, the debilitated elderly or immunocompromised people. In preliminary experiments on murine listeriosis we noticed suppurative gastritis in mice infected with L. monocytogenes by the intragastric route. The aims of the present study were ⅰ) to describe the histopathology of the experimentally listeria-induced gastroenteritis ⅱ) to investigate the influence of bacterial strain and laboratory mouse strain on infectivity and on the severity of the infection; [3] to examine possible effects of preliminary intragastric administration of sodium bicarbonate.

Gastric wall abscess, a localized form of phlegmonous gastritis, is a rare complication of endoscopic resection. We report the first case of gastric wall abscess developing after endoscopic submucosal dissection in Korea. A 72-year-old woman visited our clinic to receive treatment for gastric adenoma. The patient successfully underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection with no complications. The final diagnosis was well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. We performed follow-up endoscopy 10 weeks later and found a large subepithelial lesion on the posterior wall of the gastric antrum. Abdominal computed tomography revealed hypodense wall thickening and a 5 cm heterogenous multilobular mass in the submucosal layer of the gastric antrum. Submucosal invasion with mucin-producing adenocarcinomas could therefore not be excluded. The patient agreed to undergo additional gastrectomy due to the possibility of a highly malignant lesion. The final diagnosis was acute suppurative inflammation with the formation of multiple abscesses in the mural layers and omentum. The patient was discharged with no complications.
