Popis: Gastritis is a common finding in dogs with 35% of the dogs investigated for chronic vomiting and 26% to 48% of asymptomatic dogs affected. However, the true prevalence in cats is yet to be determined. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of chronic gastritis in domestic and stray cats. The total rate was an estimated as 66.6%. Thorough histopathological studies revealed no significant association between the occurrence of chronic gastritis and age and sex in either stray or domestic cats. Gastritis was significantly more prevalent in the antrum than the gastric body and only chronic non-specific gastritis was diagnosed. The most common types of chronic non-specific gastritis were atrophic (26.3%), lympho-plasmacytic (24.6%) and hypertrophic (15.8%), respectively. In chronic gastritis cases, fibrosis and lymphoid follicles were seen in 42.1% and 31.6% of the subjects respectively, but no significant associations were observed between the type of non-specific chronic gastritis, fibrosis and occurrence of lymphoid follicles. The prevalence of gastric erosion and ulcers in cats was 19.2% and 3.5%, respectively, and there was no significant association between chronic gastritis occurrence and gastric ulceration or erosions. Cytological examination revealed GHLO colonization in 63.15% of the antrum and 77.19% of the gastric body, with no correlation with non-specific chronic gastritis in the studied subjects.
Gastritis je čest nalaz u pasa sa stopom od 35% u onih s kroničnim povraćanjem i 26% do 48% pasa bez znakova bolesti. Taj nalaz upućuju na zaključak da treba istražiti prevalenciju gastritisa u mačaka. Ovo istraživanje poduzeto je radi određivanja prevalencije kroničnog gastritisa u domaćih mačaka i mačaka lutalica. Procjenjuje se da se javlja u 66,6% mačaka. Patohistološke pretrage pokazale su da ne postoji značajna povezanost između pojave kroničnog gastritisa te dobi i spola u domaćih mačaka i lutalica. Gastritis se značajno češće javljao u antrumu nego u trupu želuca. Dijagnosticiran je bio samo kronični nespecifični gastritis. Najčešće se javljao atrofični gastritis (26,3%), limfo-plazmatski (24,6%) i hipertrofični (15,8%). U 42,1% kroničnih gastritisa ustanovljena je fibroza, a u 31,6% limfoidni folikuli. Nije uočena znatna povezanost između tipa nespecifičnoga kroničnoga gastritisa i fibroze te pojave limfoidnih folikula. Prevalencija želučanih erozija iznosila je 19,2%, a čireva 3,5%. Nije ustanovljena značajna povezanost između pojave kroničnog gastritisa i ulceracija ili erozija. Citološkim pretragama ustanovljena je kolonizacija antruma organizmima sličnima helikobakteru u 63,15% pretraženih mačaka, a želučanog trupa u 77,19% pretraženih mačaka. Nije ustanovljena korelacija s nespecifičnim kroničnim gastritisom.
