[Campylobacter pylori in heterotopic gastric mucosa in Meckel's diverticulum]. 1989

We report a case of Meckel's diverticulum with heterotopic gastric body mucosa, active gastritis in the heterotopic mucosa and dense colonisation by Campylobacter pylori. This case, together with four identical cases recently reported, and a further case with C. pylori colonisation of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the rectum, shows that C. pylori obviously traverses the length of the Gl tract--a fact that makes the faecal-oral route of infection probable.

D005753	Gastric Mucosa	Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
