Well. itis AAA The correct answer is A. Acute gastritis, characterized by patches of erythematous mucosa, sometimes with petechiae and ulceration, can be seen as a complication of a variety of other conditions (alcohol use, aspirin and other NSAIDs use, smoking, shock, steroid use, and uremia), which usually have in common disruption of the mucosal barrier of the stomach.
Chronic antral (type B) gastritis (choice B) is associated with Helicobacter pylori.
Chronic fundal (type A) gastritis (choice C) is the type associated with pernicious anemia.
Hypertrophic gastritis (Menetrier's disease; choice D) is an idiopathic condition characterized by markedly enlarged mucosal folds.
Lymphocytic gastritis (choice E) is thought to be a gastric manifestation of celiac sprue
