Duodenitis Phlegmonous

**Duodenitis** is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the duodenum and/or jejunum. Duodenitis often affects people prone to intestinal infections. In this category of people, inflammation is often acute in nature and recurs periodically. Inflammation of the duodenum and duodenum of the stomach most often occurs due to pathogenic microflora entering the stomach, as well as due to the consumption of stale or poor-quality food. The penetration of pathogenic bacteria into the intestines is often caused by food poisoning: stale foods, dishes with high acidity or spoiled foods. Elderly people and people with chronic diseases that reduce immunity are especially susceptible to such effects. Smoking patients are also included in this population group. In their case, the acidity of the stomach is reduced, and the lack of hydrochloric acid contributes to the proliferation of the pathogenic microorganism. After penetration into the duodenum, the bacteria often leave the body on their own, without the patient feeling any symptoms. But after some time, inflammation develops and becomes chronic. The danger of such forms of the disease lies in the fact that the duodenum absorbs harmful substances quite poorly, since the content of the protective layer of fat is minimal, especially in the jejunum. Therefore, with duodenitis, the work of the protective cells of the intestine weakens, and the intestinal walls cease to fully perform their functions.

Duodenitis and duodenostitis are inflammatory diseases of the mucous membrane of the duodenum and jejunum. The name of the disease is derived from the Greek “duodenum” (duodenum), which translates as “duodenum”. This term indicates the location of the inflammatory process. The stomach and pancreas are also susceptible to pathological processes, so additional terms are sometimes used - duodenecholangitis, duodenal and pancreatitis, etc.

Types of diseases

Duodenitis can be of the following types: - gastric or catarrhal (early). It usually begins after a single drink of alcohol. Leads to the following complications: gastric catarrh, hyperacid gastritis, superficial duodenitis - as a complication of surgical interventions on the stomach with a gastric tube, biliary tract, perforation of a stomach ulcer; gastroduodenoduodenitis. May lead to superficial erosive lesions; - antral. It is usually an independent disease, although it can develop against the background of increased acidity in the stomach or peptic ulcer, as well as gastritis. In clinical practice, it often occurs simultaneously with gastroduodenitis; - bulbar or total. Inflammation
