Endoscopic features with linked-color imaging of non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter-associated gastritis: a case study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The endoscopic findings of non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter (NHPH) are not widely known. Linked-color imaging (LCI) has emerged as a new system for image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) that enhances color tone and improves visibility. The aim of this case study was to assess how endoscopic findings of NHPH are enhanced with LCI.

Methods

We report the case of a 72-year-old woman in whom an NHPH species was found during EGD using LCI.

Results

The EGD did not reveal any endoscopic findings of diffuse redness, patchy redness, or atrophy. However, erosions, nonuniform redness, and crack-like mucosa were seen in the antrum, as well as LCI-enhanced endoscopic findings. In addition, nodular gastritis and a white marbled appearance were also observed i
