Gastritis:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Acute gastritis has numerous causes, including:
❑ chronic ingestion of (or an allergic reaction to) irritating foods or beverages, such as hot peppers or alcohol
❑ drugs, such as aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (in large doses), cytotoxic agents, corticosteroids, antimetabolites, phenylbutazone, and indomethacin
❑ ingestion of poisons, especially DDT, ammonia, mercury, carbon tetrachloride, and corrosive substances
❑ endotoxins released from infecting bacteria, such as staphylococci, Escherichia coli, or salmonella.
Acute gastritis leading to stress ulcers also may develop in acute illnesses, especially when the patient has had major traumatic injuries; burns; severe infection; hepatic, renal, or respiratory failure; or major surgery.
Chronic gastritis may be associated with peptic ulcer disease or gastrostomy, both of which cause chronic reflux of pancreatic secretions, bile, and bile acids from the duodenum into the stomach. Recurring exposure to irritating substances, such as drugs, alcohol, cigarette smoke, or environmental agents, may also lead to chronic gastritis. Chronic gastritis may occur with pernicious anemia, renal disease, or diabetes mellitus. Pernicious anemia is commonly associated with atrophic gastritis, a chronic inflammation of the stomach resulting from degeneration of the gastric mucosa. In pernicious anemia, the stomach can no longer secrete intrinsic factor, which is needed for vitamin B 12 absorption.
Bacterial infection with Helicobacter pylori is a common cause of nonerosive chronic gastritis. About 35% of adults are infected with H. pylori, but the prevalence of H. pylori infection in minority groups and in immigrants is much higher. Children ages 2 to 8 in developing nations acquire the infection at a rate of 10% per year; in the United States, the rate of yearly infection is less than 1%.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Gastritis usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Gastritis at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Gastritis refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Gastritis diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
