“…Nowadays surgical interventions are less invasive with radiological modalities and endoscopic procedures (1,8). Marcos et al treated twelve of nineteen patients surgically, four of them endoscopically, two of them percutaneously and one patient was only parenterally given antibiotic medication (1). If the patient has peptic ulcer like our patient, parenteral antibiotherapy must be supported by peptic ulcer treatment.…”

An 11-year-old boy presented to the hospital with complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting that had started two days ago. He had been followed-up for Myasthenia Gravis for three and half years and was receiving prednisolone and pyridostigmine. On physical examination, his condition was stable. His body mass index was 28.6 (overweight), body temperature 38.7°C, heart rate 110/min and blood pressure 110/70 mmHg. INTRODUcTION Gastric wall abscesses are rare infectious pathologies. They can be seen in situations such as immune suppression and failure in the integrity of gastric wall mucosa (1,2). Previous studies have shown that the pathogenesis of gastric abscesses involves direct invasion or hematogenous spread of bacteria (3). These lesions are very rare since the gastric mucosa is very resistant because of high acidity in the stomach (4). We present 11-year-old boy who had complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting and was diagnosed as gastric wall abscess.

Tuberculosis is a healthcare concern that affects millions of individuals around the globe. Coinfection with HIV has changed both the clinical presentation and the outcome of the disease dramatically in the last few decades. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is seen more frequently in the immunocompromised host. An unusual case of gastric tuberculosis in an AIDS patient is reported here. A 49-year-old female with AIDS was admitted for fever and epigastric pain. A gastric submucosal abscess was observed on imaging and confirmed by biopsy showing numerous neutrophils and acid-fast bacilli. Aspirate grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This report highlights a very unusual presentation of tuberculosis in an immunodeficient patient. High clinical suspicion for opportunistic infections in unusual locations should be maintained in these patients presenting with clinical syndromes that do not respond to standard treatments. New diagnostic modalities facilitate accurate identification of these infections.
