Emphysematous gastritis is a rare life-threatening infection caused by gas trapping within the gastric mucosal wall. It is diagnosed by radiological or operative findings most typically by CT scan of the abdomen. It is caused by gas-producing bacteria. Predisposing factors include but are not limited to alcohol intake, trauma, diabetes and surgery. Clinical presentation will typically include severe abdominal pain, abdominal distension and shock. Here we present the only reported case to our knowledge of Emphysematous gastritis with concomitant portal venous gas and pneumoperitoneum caused by Candida Glabrata.
气肿性胃炎是一种罕见的危及生命的感染，由气体被困于胃黏膜壁内引起。其诊断通常依靠影像学或手术发现，最典型的是通过腹部CT扫描。它由产气细菌引起。诱发因素包括但不限于饮酒、外伤、糖尿病和手术。临床表现通常包括严重腹痛、腹胀和休克。在此，我们报告据我们所知唯一一例由光滑念珠菌引起的伴有门静脉积气和气腹的气肿性胃炎病例。
